<h3>Answer: Choice B) 8.57</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
The triangles are similar through the AA (angle angle) similarity rule. Note how the angle markers correspond and match up. Example: angle C and angle F both have triple angle markers to indicate these angles are congruent.
The corresponding sides pair up to form equal fractions. AB and DE form AB/DE which is equal to AC/DF, as these two sides correspond as well.
Therefore: AB/DE = AC/DF
Let's plug in the given values and isolate x
AB/DE = AC/DF
11/7 = (15+x)/15 ...... substitution
11*15 = 7*(15+x) ....... cross multiply
11*15 = 7*15+7*x ...... distribute
165 = 105+7x
165-105 = 105+7x-105 ..... subtract 105 from both sides
60 = 7x
7x = 60
7x/7 = 60/7 ............ divide both sides by 7
x = 8.57142857142858
x = 8.57 ..... rounding to the nearest hundredth
24×1 1/4 is 30
Jake reads 24 per day
24×5=121
168-121=47
Julio reads 30 per day
30×5=150
180-150=30
Jake will have 17 more pages left to read than Julio.
Answer:
It takes 4 minutes per block and she can walk 12.5 blocks in 45 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 / 5 = 4 minutes per block
20 + 20 + 5 = 45
5 + 5 + 2.5 = 12.5
Hope this helps, I did the test last year.
Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+4) ^ (1/3) + (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = 0
Subtract (x+4) ^ (1/3) from each side
(x+4) ^ (1/3) - (x+4) ^ (1/3)+ (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)
(2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)
Cube each side
(2x+8) ^ (1/3) ^3= -(x+4) ^ (1/3)^3
2x+8 = -(x+4)
Distribute the negative sign
2x+8 = -x -4
Add x to each side
2x+8 +x =-x+x-4
3x+8 = -4
Subtract 8 from each side
3x+8-8 =-4-8
3x =-12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = -12/3
x = -4
