Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let point 
be the point where the straight line drawn from point 
meets the straight line 
, it is evident that 
and 
is similar given that both triangles share the same angle, 
. Hence, the ratio of the sides of each triangle is the same. Specifically,
.
Performing cross multiplication yields
.
Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
595 - 393.75 = 131.25
131.25 (amount of change)/ 525 (original amount) x 100%
= 25%
He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8
I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.
Answer:
I believe b is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you place the points in the values, you get 5=3(0)+b. When you simplify it, you get 5=b. I really hope this is correct, I apologize if it isn't! I hope this helps! :)
