The triangles are NOT similar.
If they were the ratios of the sides would be the same.
3 / 4 = .75
5 / 6 = .8333333333
6 / 8 = .75
<u>the correct question is</u>
The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?
Let
x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day
y-------> the cost to support an archer per day
we know that
4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1
2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2
If you multiply equation 1 by 2
2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10
so
equation 1 and equation 2 are the same
The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.
Answer:0 = 3x - 21
Step-by-step explanation:
From this given function we can take an
x
common from its expression
i.e
x
2
−
6
x
=
x
(
x
−
6
)
As we know that the product of two numbers is zero,when either one of them is zero
then in the above expression that we just factorised
the function can be zero when either
x
=
0
or when
x
=
6
i.e when
x
=
0
,
0
(
0
−
6
)
=
0
when
x
=
6
,
6
(
6
−
6
)
=
6
(
0
)
Finally, our prize of all that math, the zeroes of the function are
0
and
6
these numbers are called the zeroes of the function because when you put these values in
x
the function gives zero.
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, eliminate the fractional coefficient 1/2, by multiplying all three terms by 2:
-24 + x = -12
Adding 24 to both sides isolates x: x = -12 + 24, or x = 12
