Your goal is to have x by itself
Send st to other side
rx= r+st
Divide by r so x stays alone
X=(r+st)/r
Which is also equal to
X=r/r+st/r
X= 1+st/r
To prove a similarity of a triangle, we use angles or sides.
In this case we use angles to prove
∠ACB = ∠AED (Corresponding ∠s)
∠AED = ∠FDE (Alternate ∠s)
∠ABC = ∠ADE (Corresponding ∠s)
∠ADE = ∠FED (Alternate ∠s)
∠BAC = ∠EFD (sum of ∠s in a triangle)
Now we know the similarity in the triangles.
But it is necessary to write the similar triangle according to how the question ask.
The question asks " ∆ABC is similar to ∆____. " So we find ∠ABC in the prove.
∠ABC corressponds to ∠FED as stated above.
∴ ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED
Similarly, if the question asks " ∆ACB is similar to ∆____. "
We answer as ∆ACB is similar to ∆FDE.
Answer is ∆ABC is similar to ∆FED.
The writing isnt so clear to me
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We see that the two terms share an x, so we can pull that out:

Now notice that we have a difference of squares (
). Given a difference of squares,
, this can always be factored into
. We can use this in this case:
.
So, our final factorized form is:
.
Hope this helps!
$27
2.65 x 2 (since he has to go both to and from work each day) = $5.30
Add the daily cost of the water bottle (1.45) to make his total cost for one day, which is 6.75
Multiply this number by 4 (because he goes 4 days a week) to get $27 for one week.
