Answer:

x = 10.8

y = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

AB : AP = AC : AQ

5 :(5+9) = 6 : (6+x)

5: 14 = 6 :(6+x)

5(6+x) = 14*6

30 + 5x = 84

5x = 54

x = 10.8

AB : AP = BC :PQ

5 :14 = 4 : y

5y = 14*4

y = 11.2

Find the sum of three consecutive odd integers where x is the greatest integer

myrzilka [38]

X + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ? ; In which
<span>
x + x </span>− 2 + x − 4 ;

Combine the "like terms" ;

x + x + x = 3x ;

− 2 − 4 =  −6 ;

So we have: "3x  − 6" as the sum. ;
___________________________
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which "x" is the greatest integer; is: "3x − 6" .
_____________________________________________
Note: The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:

"(x − 4)" , "(x − 2)" , and "x" .

The sum is: "(3x  − 6)<span>" .
</span>_____________________________________________
Note: "(3x  − 6)" factors into: " 3(x −2)" .

Note that: " (x − 2) " is the second integer.
______________________________________________
So the sum total, which is: "(3x  − 6)" ;  is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer; that is, "3 (x − 2)" .

The right answer is Option A: $x=\frac{rs-t}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is;

$s=\frac{2x+t}{r}$

We will solve this expression for x, therefore,

Multiplying both sides by r

$r*s=\frac{2x+t}{r}*r\\rs=2x+t$

Subtracting t from both sides

$rs-t=2x+t-t\\rs-t=2x\\2x=rs-t$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{rs-t}{2}\\x=\frac{rs-t}{2}$

The right answer is Option A: $x=\frac{rs-t}{2}$

Chandler Heisinger buys a monthly metro card, which entitles him to unlimited subway travel in New York City, for $81 per month.

ANTONII [103]

Let $r$ be the number of rides Chandler takes in a month. Then the cost with the MetroCard is still $81, but the cost without the MetroCard is $2r$ . So we can set up an equation representing what we want: "The cost with a MetroCard of r rides in a month is less than the cost without a MetroCard." In equations,
$81\ \textless \ 2r \\ r\ \textgreater \ 81/2\ \textgreater \ 40 \\
r \geq 41$
Thus, at a minimum, Chandler must take 41 rides for his MetroCard to be cheaper than not having it.
