Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4
Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75
Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.
===========================================================
Work Shown:
AC/QY = CD/YW
(x+5)/15 = 5/4
4(x+5) = 15*5
4x+20 = 75
4x = 75-20
4x = 55
x = 55/4
x = 13.75
------------
Explanations:
- The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
- In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
- On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.
You already have the equation given which is <span>y=0.5x+40. To graph, you just have to replace random values of x to determine the corresponding values of y. Plot these points and connect them. The graph is shown in the attached picture. As you can observe, the range starts from y=40. This is because the y-intercept is 40. So, you don't have to show the y-values below because it would just minimize your linear graph.</span>
Answer:
The answer is 88.
She would have to score 88
Step-by-step explanation:
86 + 88 = 174
174 ÷ 2 = 87
