What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

n200080 [17]
<u>ANSWER:</u>
<span>The initial value of the truck is $22,200
</span>
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
For the given function 
<span>
     f(t) = 22,200(0.92)^t

We know that at t = 0, we have

</span>    f(0) = 22,200(0.92)^0 = 22,200
<span>
which is the value of the truck initially. So, the correct answer is

</span>The initial value of the truck is $22,200
