Answer:
x = 24.5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two similar triangles. In similar triangles the sides are in proportion.
Let's name big triangle as triangle 1 and small triangle as triangle 2.
The sides of the big triangle:
27 as base and the longest side (x + 7)
The sides of the small triangle:
base = 27 - 6 = 21
longest side = x
We need to find the value of x using proportion.
27/21 = (x + 7)/ x
By cross multiplying, we get
27(x) = 21(x + 7)
27x = 21x + 147
27x - 21x = 147
6x = 147
Dividing both sides by 6, we get
x = 147/6
x = 24.5
The value of x = 24.5
Hope you will understand the concept.
Thank you.
Answer:

2)$3.44
Step-by-step explanation:
4 cans and 3 loaves=11.67
8 cans and 1 loaf= 12.89.
Set up equation:
x=cans
y=loaves
This is the answer for question A.
Multiply eq1 by 2:

Subtract eq3 by eq2:

Substitute:

One can of soup and one loaf of bread=

So:

Hope this helps :D Please hit the crown if u can !!
Suppose

is the number of possible combinations for a suitcase with a lock consisting of

wheels. If you added one more wheel onto the lock, there would only be 9 allowed possible digits you can use for the new wheel. This means the number of possible combinations for

wheels, or

is given recursively by the formula

starting with

(because you can start the combination with any one of the ten available digits 0 through 9).
For example, if the combination for a 3-wheel lock is 282, then a 4-wheel lock can be any one of 2820, 2821, 2823, ..., 2829 (nine possibilities depending on the second-to-last digit).
By substitution, you have

This means a lock with 55 wheels will have

possible combinations (a number with 53 digits).
