Answer:

NR = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both trjangles are similar, therefore, it follows that their corresponding side lengths would be proportional to each other. Thus:

$\frac{40}{8} = \frac{60}{2x - 2}$

$5 = \frac{60}{2x - 2}$

Cross multiply

$5(2x - 2) = 60$

$10x - 10 = 60$

$10x = 60 + 10$ (addition property of equality)

$10x = 70$

Divide both sides by 10

x = 7

✔️NR = 2x - 2

Plug in the value of x

NR = 2(7) - 2 = 14 - 2

NR = 12

Each CD at a music store is sold for $10. If n represents the number of CDs sold, which equation could be used to find the total

Art [367]

Answer:

10n = d

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Each CD is sold for 10 dollars

The music store has sold n amount of CD's

The total number of dollars 'd' depends on how many CD's were sold

The equation is: 10n = d

Hope this helps!

Nora's paper airplane flew 9 1/6 feet. That was 2 3/4 feet farther than Max's plane flew. Write and solve an equation to show ho

stepan [7]

Answer:

Max's paper airplane flew $\frac{77}{12}$ feet or $6\frac{5}{12}$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Nora's paper airplane flew 9 1/6 feet

i.e.

$9\frac{1}{6}=\frac{55}{6}$

Nora's paper was farther than Max's plane flew by = 2 3/4 feet

i.e.

$2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

Thus the equation to show how far Max's paper airplane flew is:

$\:\:9\frac{1}{6}-2\frac{3}{4}$

$=\frac{55}{6}-\frac{11}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}6,\:4:\quad 12$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$

$=\frac{110}{12}-\frac{33}{12}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{110-33}{12}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:110-33=77$

$=\frac{77}{12}$

$=6\frac{5}{12}$

Therefore, Max's paper airplane flew $\frac{77}{12}$ feet or $6\frac{5}{12}$ feet.
