Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle ABC\ \text{and}\ \triangle ADB\ \text{are similar (AA). Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion.}\\\\\dfrac{BD}{BC}=\dfrac{AB}{AC}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\BD=x\\BC=10\\AB=7.5\\AC=12.5\\\\\text{Subtitute:}\\\\\dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{7.5}{12.5}\\\\\dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{7.5\cdot10}{12.5\cdot10}\\\\\dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{75:25}{125:25}\\\\\dfrac{x}{10}=\dfrac{3}{5}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\(5)(x)=(3)(10)\\\\5x=30\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{30}{5}\\\\x=6$

A stack of logs has 27 logs on the bottom layer each subsequent layer has five fewer logs in the previous layer at the top layer

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

S=252logs

Step-by-step explanation:

bottom layer has a1 = 25

second layer has a2 = a1 - 1 = 24

third layer has a3 = a2 - 1 = a1 - 2 = 23

.

.

n-th layer has an an = a1 - n = 25 - n

the top layer contains an = 25 - n and we know that the top layer has 11 logs thus

25 - n = 11

n = 25 - 11

n = 14

there are 14 layers

the total number of logs is the sum of the first 14 members of the Arithmetic Progression 25, 24, 23, 23,.....11 where

an = 25 - n

Sn = (n/2)(a1 + an) and since n = 14

S14 = (14/2)(25 + 11) = 7*36 = 252

S14 = 252 logs

To mail a package, the rate is x cents for the first pound and y cents for each additional pound, where x>y. Two packages wei

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Option A) Combined, with a saving of x-y cents

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The rate to mail a package is x cents for first pound and y cents for each additional pound.

$x>y$

Weights of packages =

3 pounds and 5 pounds

Cost of combined package:

Total weight = 8 pounds

$C\text{(combined)} = x + 7y$

Cost of sending separately:

$C\text{(separated)} = (x + 2y) + (x + 4y) = 2x + 6y$

Difference between cost of sending the packages separately and combined

$C\text{(separated)}-C\text{(combined)} \\=2x + 6y-(x+7y)\\=(x-y)\text{ cents}$

Thus, sending the packages combined is a cheaper method with a saving of (x-y) cents

Thus, the correct answer is:

Option A) Combined, with a saving of (x-y) cents
