Answer:
x = 9
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Side-Side-Side or SSS means that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are considered to be congruent (equal).
Therefore, GH = PM ⇒ 7x + 8 = 6y - 7
and, GP = HM ⇒ 8x - 10 = 5y - 3
Rewrite the first expression to make x the subject, then substitute this into the second equation, and solve for y:
GH = PM
⇒ 7x + 8 = 6y - 7
⇒ 7x = 6y - 15
⇒ x = (6/7)y - 15/7
Substituting x = (6/7)y - 15/7 into GP = HM:
GP = HM
⇒ 8x - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ 8[(6/7)y - 15/7] - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ (48/7)y - 120/7 - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ (13/7)y = 169/7
⇒ y = 13
Now we have found a value for y, substitute this into one of the expressions and solve for x:
8x - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ 8x - 10 = (5 x 13) - 3
⇒ 8x - 10 = 62
⇒ 8x = 72
⇒ x = 9
A= x^2+2x-6
B= x^3-x+5-(28/x+3)
Interest due at the end of 120 days
= 8500(120/365)(.09) = 251.51
so of his $4000 payment, $3748.49 will go towards reducing the debt.
so balance owing = 8500 - 3748.49
= 4751.51
interest for the remaining 80 days
= 4751.51(.09)(80/365) =93.73
total owing at the end = 4751.51+93.73
= $4845.23
Answer:
B) 5p
Step-by-step explanation:
If you substitute 7 in for each equation you will see that the answers are either 7, 38, or 32, which are not 35. But when you substitute 7 in for B, 5(7), and multiply it out you get 35. I hope this helps :)
