Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There is 1 solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(x - 3) = 3x - 2.5

0.5x - 1.5 = 3x - 2.5

-2.5x = -1

x = 0.4

Find the area of the trapezoid to the nearest tenth.
erica [24]

Answer:

2.2 metres squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of this trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is denoted by:

A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}, where b_1 and b_2 are the parallel bases and h is the height

Here, we already know the lengths of the two bases; they are 0.9 metres and 2.3 metres. However, we need to find the length of the height.

Notice that one of the angles is marked 45 degrees. Let's draw a perpendicular line from top endpoint of the segment labelled 0.9 to the side labelled 2.3. We now have a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 2.0 metres. As one of such a triangle's properties, we can divide 2.0 by √2 to get the length of both legs:

2.0 ÷ √2 = √2 ≈ 1.414 ≈ 1.4

Thus, the height is h = 1.4 metres. Now plug all these values we know into the equation to find the area:

A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}

A=\frac{(0.9+2.3)*1.4}{2}=2.2

The answer is thus 2.2 metres squared.

On Fridays, Jerry stops at Steak &amp; Taco Shack before he goes home. This week
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Steak sandwich = x = 4

Cheese fries = y = 1.75

Taco salad = z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Steak sandwich = x

Cheese fries = y

Taco salad = z

This week:

x + 2y + 2z = 11.50 - - - - (1)

Last week :

2x + 3y + z = 15.25 - - - (2)

Two weeks ago :

x + 4y + z = 13 - - - - - (3)

Taking (1) and (2)

x + 2y + 2z = 11.50 ___(1)

2x + 3y + z = 15.25 ___(2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 1 and subtract

2x + 4y + 4z = 23

2x + 3y + z = 15.25

_______________

y + 3z = 7.75 - - - - (4)

Taking (2) and (3)

2x + 3y + z = 15.25 - - (2)

x + 4y + z = 13 - - - - - (3)

Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 2 and subtract

2x + 3y + z = 15.25

2x + 8y + 2z = 26

______________

-5y - z = - 10.75 - - - - - (5)

Lets solve (4) and (5)

y + 3z = 7.75 - - - - (4) - - - multiply by 5

-5y - z = - 10.75 - - - - - (5) - - - multiply by 1

Then add the result :

5y + 15z = 38.75

-5y - z = - 10.75

____________

14z = 28

z = 28 / 14

z = 2

To find y ; put z = 2 in (4)

y + 3z = 7.75

y + 3(2) = 7.75

y + 6 = 7.75

y = 7.75 - 6

y = 1.75

From equation 3 ;

x + 4y + z = 13 - - - - - (3)

x + 4(1.75) + 2 = 13

x + 7 + 2 = 13

x + 9 = 13

x = 13 - 9

x = 4

Hence,

Steak sandwich = x = 4

Cheese fries = y = 1.75

Taco salad = z = 2
