Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should notice is that the triangles (the smaller one and the larger one) are similar due to angle-angle similarity (the top angle equals itself, and because the bases are parallel lines cut by a transversal, the base angle of the bigger triangle is equal to the corresponding base of the smaller triangle.

Similar triangles' corresponding sides have equal ratios to one another. That means we can set up an equation: side of smaller triangle ÷ corresponding side of larger triangle = other side of smaller triangle ÷ corresponding side of larger triangle. We plug the values given to us and can change this equation to:\frac{x}{x + 12} = \frac{x + 1}{x + 16} **

We now multiply both sides of the above equation by (x + 12)(x + 16) to get: x(x + 16) = (x + 1)(x + 12)

x^{2}  + 16x = x^{2}  + 13x + 12

3x = 12

x = 4

That means our answer, for the value of x, is 4

** Make sure you don't say \frac{x}{12} = \frac{x + 1}{15}, because those aren't the sides of the larger square.

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{12}=\frac{x+1}{15}

By cross-multiplication:

\displaystyle 12(x+1)=15(x)

Distribute:

12x+12=15x

Subtract 12x from both sides:

12=3x

Hence:

x=4

A store marks up the price of a sweater by $7.35. The total cost of the sweater is 25.65. How much does the store pay for the sw
UNO [17]

Answer: the store paid $18.3 for the sweater

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the store paid for the sweater.

A store marks up the price of a sweater by $7.35. This means that the new or current price of the sweater at the store would be

7.35 + x

The total cost of the sweater is 25.65. Therefore, an equation to represent the problem would be

7.35 + x = 25.65

Subtracting 7.35 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

7.35 + x - 7.35 = 25.65 - 7.35

x = $18.3

Answer:y=6.61,x=-6.46

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+7y=-26(×5)

         -

5x+3y=-14(×3)

=15x+35y=-130

           -

 15x+9y=-42

subtracting the 2 equations =15x-15x+35y-9y=-130-(-42)

=26y=172

y=172÷26

y=6.61

substitute y in the first equation=3x+6.61=-26

3x=-26+6.61=-19.39

x=-19.39÷3

x=-6.46
