Answer:

x = 3

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:

XP ≅ DN

PS ≅ NF

XS ≅ DF

Given that:

XP = 4y - 3

DN = 57

NF = 51

XS = 17x + 3

DF = 54

Therefore:

XP = DN

4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)

Add 3 to both sides

4y = 57 + 3

4y = 60

Divide both sides by 4

y = 60/4

y = 15

Also,

XS = DF

17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)

Subtract 3 from each side

17x = 54 - 3

17x = 51

Divide both sides by 17

x = 51/17

x = 3

Samantha sends her son, Barry, to a preschool center on certain days. The cost of preschool is $45 per day along with a fixed mo

Travka [436]

Answer: Option D

D. $880 = 45d + 70$ ; $18\ days$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of preschool is $ 45 per day plus a monthly fee of $ 70.

We also know that a total of $ 880 was paid last month

To write an equation that represents this situation, let us call "d" the number of days that Barry attends school

So the cost was:

$45d + 70 = 880$

Now we solve the equation for the variable d

$45d= 880-70$

$d= \frac{810}{45}$

$d= 18\ days$

Therefore answer is the option D

Your friend has $90 when he goes to the fair. He spends $5 to enter the fair and $15 on food. Rides at the fair cost $1.50 per r

ra1l [238]

Answer:

-1.5x + 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money he takes while going to the fair = $90

Money he spends to enter the fair = $5

Money he spends on food =$15

Total he spent now is given by

Now, he spend on rides at the fair i.e. 1.50 per ride .

Let the number of rides be x

So, cost incurred on rides = 1.5x

So, the spending money can be expressed as

Now, remaining money left to him after spending on x rides too is

Let f(x) denotes the function used to determine the money he has left over after rides .

So it becomes

f(x) = 70 - 1.50x

f (x) = -1.50x +70
