Answer:

The indifference point is 8 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First, we establish the total cost formula for each:</u>

x= number of weeks

Club:

Total cost= 20 + 15*x

Retail:

Total cost= 17.5*x

<u>Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:</u>

20 + 15x = 17.5x

20 = 2.5x

8=x

The indifference point is 8 weeks.

<u>Prove:</u>

Total cost= 20 + 15*8= $140

Total cost= 17.5*8= $140

Prove ΔPAB is isosceles.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If PX\cong PY, then triangle PXY is isosceles triangle. Angles adjacent to the base XY of an isosceles triangle PXY are congruent, so

\angle 1\cong \angle 2

and

m\angle 1=m\angle 2

Angles 1 and 3 are supplementary, so

m\angle 3=180^{\circ}-m\angle 1

Angles 2 and 4 are supplementary, so

m\angle 4=180^{\circ}-m\angle 2

By substitution property,

m\angle 4=180^{\circ}-m\angle 2=180^{\circ}-m\angle 1=m\angle 3

Hence,

\angle 3\cong \angle 4

Consider triangles APX and BPY. In these triangles:

  • PX\cong PY - given;
  • \angle 5\cong \angle 6 - given;
  • \angle 3\cong \angle 4 - proven,

so \triangle APX\cong \triangle BPY by ASA postulate.

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, then

AP\cong BP

Therefore, triangle APB is isosceles triangle (by definition).

How to solve 17 = x/2 + 1​
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x = 32

Stephanie wants to buy s tomato plants.
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Required Expression : 7·(s + d) - 25

Step-by-step explanation :

Cost of each plant both buys = $7

No. of plants Stephanie wants to buy = s

Total cost of plants bought by Stephanie = 7·s

No. of plants Diego wants to buy = d

Total cost of plants bought by Diego = 7·d

Total cost = 7·s + 7·d

                 = 7·(s + d)

Discount applied through coupon = $25

So, Total cost of all their plants with discount = 7·(s + d) - 25
