Water carried = 1/2 gallon
Water drank =
= 2/3 of 1/2 gallon
= 2/3 × 1/2
= 2/6
= 1/3 gallon
VK = VY+YK by the segment addition postulate. Basically adding two segments along a straight line forms a longer segment. In this case, VY and YK combine to form VK
Since VK = x and VY = 22, this means...
VK = VY+YK
x = 22+YK
x-22 = YK
YK = x-22

Notice the arc marks where the point T is located. These markings tell us that the two angles VTY and YTK are congruent angles. Because of this, we can use the angle bisector theorem which says that the ratio of the corresponding sides are congruent.
In short, we can form this ratio
VT/VY = KT/KY
which is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle, to the side opposite the angle
Plug in the given values and solve for x
VT/VY = KT/KY
77/22 = 87.5/(x-22)
77(x-22) = 22*87.5
77(x-22) = 1925
77x-77*22 = 1925
77x-1694 = 1925
77x = 1925+1694
77x = 3619
x = 3619/77
x = 47
Answer: 47
C = 125S + 6500.
This is because there is an initial fee of $6500 to rent the truck and an additional 125 dollars for each ton of sugar.
C = 125(13) + 6500
C = $8125
Would you please provide us with the options so we can help thanks
