Answer:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x + 7 = 2x - 8 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x + 7 = - 8 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 5

In the given figure ABCD is a tripepizeum with AB||CD. If AO = x-1, CO = BO = x+1 and CD = x+4. Find the value of x.

$\longmapsto$ The value of "x" is 5.

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Given that,

A trapezium ABCD in which AB || CD such that

AO = x - 1

CO = BO = x + 1

OD = x + 4

Now,

$\rm In \: \triangle \: AOB \: and \: \triangle \: COD$

$\rm \: \angle \: AOB \: and \: \angle \: COD \: \: \{vertically \: opposite \: angles \}$

$\rm \: \angle \:ABO \: and \: \angle \: CDO \: \: \{alternate \: interior \: angles \}$

$\bf \: \triangle \: AOB \: \sim \: \triangle \: COD \: \: \: \{AA \: similarity \}$

$\bf\longmapsto\:\dfrac{AO}{CO} = \dfrac{BO}{DO}$

$\rm \longmapsto\:\dfrac{x - 1}{x + 1} = \dfrac{x + 1}{x + 4}$

$\rm \longmapsto\:(x - 1)(x + 4) = {(x + 1)}^{2}$

$\rm \longmapsto\: {x}^{2} - x + 4x - 4 = {x}^{2} + 1 + 2x$

$\rm \longmapsto\: 3x - 4 = 1 + 2x$

$\rm \longmapsto\: 3x - 2x= 1 +4$

$\bf\longmapsto \:x = 5$

the function y=-2(x-3)^2+4 shows the daily profit (in hundreds of dollars) of a hot dog stand, where x is the price of a hot dog

X intercept would mean plug in 0 for Y.
Then finding the y intercept would mean X is 0. Your answer will be 69420

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Dan is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have:

$Hours:1\ 2\ 3\ 4\ 5$

Required

The average

The average hour is calculated using:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x = \frac{1+2+3+4+5}{5}$

$\bar x = \frac{15}{5}$

$\bar x = 3$

<em>Dan calculated the mean as 3; while Bret calculated the mean as 4.</em>

<em>Hence, we can conclude that Dan s correct</em>
