Answer:

<h2>x = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Look at the picture</em>.

ΔABC and ΔACD are similar. Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{AC}{AD}

We have

AB=2+6=8,\ AC=x,\ AD=2

Substitute:

\dfrac{8}{x}=\dfrac{x}{2}          <em>cross multiply</em>

x^2=(8)(2)\\\\x^2=16\to x=\sqrt{16}\\\\x=8

The ingredients are doubled in the large Totally Turkey Sandwich. On Wednesday, three times as many customers ordered the regula
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

45 slices of turkey used

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out this problem we first need to calculate the total amount of sandwiches that were ordered. Since 27 regular sandwiches were ordered and we know that three times as many customers ordered the regular sandwich as the large sandwich. Then we simply divide 27 by 3 to find out how many large sandwiches were ordered.

27 / 3 = 9 large sandwiches.

Now, assuming that each regular sandwich only takes one slice of turkey, we can multiply 9 by 2 since each large sandwich takes double the slices and add that to 27 to calculate the total number of slices used in all of the sandwiches for that day.

(9*2) + 27 = s

18 + 27 = s

45 = s

There were a total of 45 slices of turkey used.

41/9 = 5/2(x+2/3) -1/3
irina1246 [14]
Distribute the parentheses first
5/2 • x = 5/2x
5/2 • 2/3 = 5/3
After that, you get 41/9 = 5/2x + 5/3 -1/3
add like terms
41/9 = 5/2x + 4/3
solve the equation
it should get you 58/45
