He borrowed "a" at 7% and "b" at 8.25%

now, whatever "a" and "b" are, we know, his student loan was 9000, thus
a+b = 9000

now, he owes 7% or 7/100 for "a", what's 7% of a? well, 7/100 * a or 0.07a

he owes 8.25% of "b", how much is 8.25% of b? well, 8.25/100 * b or 0.0825b

now, we know, at the end of the year, he owed for both loans, 706.25 in interest
thus we know that 0.07a + 0.0825b = 706.25

thus   \bf \begin{cases}
a+b=9000\implies \boxed{b}=9000-a\\
0.07a+0.0825b=706.25\\
----------\\
0.07a+0.0825\left(\boxed{9000-a}  \right)=706.25
\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see how much he borrowed at 7%

what about "b"? well, b = 9000-a

What is the answer for x
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

x = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by assuming the triangles were congurent, if they are not, the answer may vary.  

first, make an equation:

x + 8 = 3x - 9

bring 3x to the other side, by subtracting it

-2x + 8 = -9

Subtract 8

-2x = -17

divide by -2

x = 8.5

Then, just sub x into the formulas
