Answer:

C. 3,960

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ADB ~ ∆EDC. Therefore,

\frac{AB}{EC} = \frac{DB}{DC}

\frac{2,000}{1,200} = \frac{2,640 + x}{x} (substitution)

Solve for x

\frac{5}{3} = \frac{2,640 + x}{x}

Cross multiply

5*x = 3(2,640 + x)

5x = 7,920 + 3x

5x - 3x = 7,920

2x = 7,920

x = 7,920/2

x = 3,960 meters

70 - 5x = number of people waiting in line to buy tickets x minutes after a ticket booth opened is given by 70 - 5x. What does t
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.

You can see this by setting the x value to 0, it is, in the precise moment when the booth opened (as x cant be negative, because there is no negative time, you could also think of 70 as the number of people waiting before the booth opens).

Pls help with algebra!
Serjik [45]
Part A: This data does represent a function because no value of x is repeated.
Part B: If x = 6 for the relation f(x) = 7x - 15, then f(x) will equal 27. The function f(x) = 7x - 15 will have the greater value
Part C: If f(x) is equal to 6 then x will equal 3

which shows the students in order from greatest test score to lease test score Alex 0.95 Octavia 16/20 Tonya 9/10 Wilson 0.87 ​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Alex (0.95), Tonya (0.90), Wilson (0.87), Octavia (0.80)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to convert all of the scores into either a decimal or a fraction. In this case, I will be solving all of them into decimals since it is easier.

Alex: 0.95

Octavia: 16/20 = 0.80

Tonya: 9/10 = 0.90

Wilson: 0.87

Therefore, we can order these from greatest score to least score.

Alex (0.95), Tonya (0.90), Wilson (0.87), Octavia (0.80)
