Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

Mini muffins cost $3:00 per dozen Andre says I have $2:00 so I can afford 8 muffins Elena says I want to get 16 muffins so I’ll

jasenka [17]

Answer:

I agree with both.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's $3 per dozen that would be $0.25 per muffin because

3 ÷ 12 = 0.25

And if Andre has $2 than he can only afford 8 muffins because

0.25 x 8 = 2

And if Elena wants 16 muffins

16 x 0.25 = 4

So she will have to pay $4.

Hope this makes sense and helps!
