<h3>Answer: Choice D.  12,600 feet</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

We have two similar triangles here, so we can set up the proportion below to solve for x

5200/(5200+6500) = 5600/x

5200/11700 = 5600/x

5200x = 11700*5600 .... cross multiply

5200x = 65,520,000

x = (65,520,000)/(5200)

x = 12,600 which shows why the answer is choice D

side note: 12,600 ft = 2.386 miles approximately

Y(a -b) =c(y+ a); y
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

y = ac / (a - b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

y(a - b) = c(y + a)

Distribute

ay - by = cy + ac

Subtract cy from both sides

ay - by - cy = ac

Factor out y

y(a - b - c) = ac

Divide both sides by (a - b - c)

y = ac / (a - b - c)

* A Frog sits on a number line at point −10. It is allowed to make up to 4 jumps. First, it can make a jump of 8 units in either
Alika [10]

Answer and explanation:

Assuming the frog jumps from -10 for all jumps, if the frog decides to make all 4 jumps then :

8 units jump= -2 or -18

4 units jump= -6 or -14

2 units jump= -8 or -12

1 unit jump = -9 or -11

If the frog decides to make one jump then skip the others then:

Either it makes 8 units jump= -2 or -18

Or 4 units jump= -6 or -14

Or 2 units jump= -8 or -12

Or 1 unit jump = -9 or -11

If it decides to make 2 jumps and skip the others then:

Either it makes 8 units jump= -2 or -18

and 4 units jump= -6 or -14

Or 2 units jump= -8 or -12

and 1 unit jump = -9 or -11

Or any other mix of units of jump twice

If it decides to make 3 jumps and skip the others then:

Either it makes 8 units jump= -2 or -18

and 4 units jump= -6 or -14

and 2 units jump= -8 or -12

Or 1 unit jump = -9 or -11

and 4 units jump= -6 or -14

and 2 units jump= -8 or -12

Or any other mix of 3 jumps

If it decides to make no jump at all then the frog would remain at -10
