Answer:
x = 10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, in geometry, you may have to <u>prove that the two triangles pictured are similar</u>.
Since the two horizontal lines are marked, they are assumed to be parallel.
Therefore, if the lines are parallel, the two bottom angles of each triangle can be treated as the same due to the [Corresponding Angles Theorem], respectively
As such, the two triangles can be seen as <u>SIMILAR</u> as proven by <u>Angle-Angle Similarity.</u>
Now that we've proven both triangles to be similar, we can then set up ratios for the sides:
= 
Note: we are using y as a measure of the <em>entire right side of the triangle</em>, so
<em>y = 6 + x</em>
Continuing on, if you cross-multiply the fractions to solve for y:
8y = 6 * 22
Simplify.
8y = 132
Simplify again.
y = 16.5
<u>We are not done yet!</u> We are solving for x, so remember <em>y = 6 + x</em>
16.5 = 6 + x
Solve for x.
x = 10.5
Answer: the ordered pair negative 3 over 8, negative 5 over 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let <em>y</em> represent the amount of money earned, and <em>x</em> the number of cars they wash. Then
<em>y</em> = 5<em>x</em>
Why? Each car wash costs $5. So no car washes means no earnings; 1 car wash earns $5; 2 washes earn $10; 3 washes earn $15, and so on, so that <em>x</em> car washes generate $5<em>x</em>.
2. No matter how many cars they end up washing, they will have spent $75 to set up the operation, so you subtract 75 from the equation is part (1).
3. Taking into account the setup cost of $75, the profit they make is given by
<em>y</em> = 5<em>x</em> - 75
4. When <em>x</em> = 0, meaning no cars get washed, the profit is -$75, meaning the team loses $75.
5. Set the profit function equal to 0 and solve for <em>x</em> :
5<em>x</em> - 75 = 0
5<em>x</em> = 75
<em>x</em> = 75/5
<em>x</em> = 15
So the team has to wash at least 15 cars to break even.
