Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 15 = 75
-15 -15
5x = 60
x = 12
You do what is asked for in the parentheses then multiply by the number outside of them.
Answer: $9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost for adults be a
Let the cost for students be b.
The first van transported 2 adults and 5 students and cost $77. This will be:
2a + 5b = $77
The second van transported 2 adults and 7 students and cost $95. This will be:
2a + 7b = $95
2a + 5b = 77 ...... equation i
2a + 7b = 95 ........ equation ii
Subtract equation ii from I
-2b = -18
b = 18/2
b = $9
An student cost $9
Put the value of b into equation i
2a + 5b = 77
2a + 5(9) = 77
2a + 45 = 77
2a = 77 - 45
2a = 32
a = 32/2
a = 16
An adult costs $16
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is important to remember that a Right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees.
According to the Altitude Rule, given a Right triangle, if you draw an altitude from the vertex of the angle that measures 90 degrees (The right angle) to the hypotenuse, the measure of that altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.
In this case, you can identify that the altitude that goes from the vertex of the right angle (
) to the hypotenuse of the triangle, is:

Then, based on the Altitude Rule, you can set up the following proportion:

According to the Leg Rule, each leg is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the portion of the hypotenuse that is located directly below that leg of the triangle.
Knowing this, you can set up the following proportions:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
The cost of units used
First, calculate the number of units used.



Next, multiply the units used by the cost per units,
Since the cost per unit is not given, we assume that it is x.
So, the total cost is:
