The triangles are not similar because the smallest sides are 6/10 = 3/5, the medium sides are 8/24 = 1/3, and the longest sides are 10/26 = 5/13 and similar triangles must have the same ratio for all three sides.
The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,
(Monday) 90 = 15m + b
(Tuesday) 62 = 8m + b
where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30.
The equation that represents Mary's earning is
y = 4x + 30
For 20 students,
y = 4(20) + 30 = 110
For Lisa's earnings,
y = 8x + 15
Substituting 20,
y =8(20) + 15 = 175
Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.
Answer:
Yes, (6, -2) is a solution to the given system of equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please write y = –1/6 x − 1 y = 1/6 x − 3 as follows, for greater clarity:
y = (–1/6)x − 1
y = (1/6)x − 3
Let's actually solve this system:
y = (–1/6)x − 1
y = (1/6)x − 3
-----------------------
2y = -4, or y = -2
Now find x. Arbitrarily we choose to use the first equation for this purpose:
y = (-1/6)x - 1. We set y = -2 and find x: -2 = (-1/6)x - 1
Combining the constants, we get -1 = (-1/6)x, or 6 = x
Yes, (6, -2) is a solution to the given system of equations.
