Answer: x = 150/6 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the information shown in the diagram: in triangle ABC, Angle A = 68, Angle C = 38, AB = 6, and BC = 10. In triangle DEF, Angle D = 38, Angle E = 74, EF = 15, and DE = x.)

The value of x is (Choose...4, 11, 12, 19, 20, 25).

To solve this, we notice that the sum of the angle measures mentioned is 68 + 38 + 74 = 180. Thus Triangles ABC and FED are similar by AA Similarity. It remains only to set up the proportion:

DE/CB = EF/BA

x/10 = 15/6

x = 150/6 = 25

My monthly cell phone bill is $40 plus $.10 for each text message. Write an equation to show the cost of texting. What is my tot

Otrada [13]

Answer:

y=.1x+40; Your total monthly bill is $48 for 80 text messages.

Step-by-step explanation:

y is your total bill

x represents each text message

40 is you cellphone bill cost

.1 is the cost per text message

(y=.1x+40 becomes your equation)

plug 80 to represent "x"

y=.1*80+40 ---> y=48

your total monthly bill is $48

Answer:

$\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a sequence of ten terms, each term (starting with the third term) is equal to the sum of the two previous terms. The seventh term is equal to 6. Therefore, we have

$a_1+a_2=x\\a_3=x\\a_4=2x\\a_5=3x\\a_6=5x\\a_7=8x\\$

We know that:

$a_7=6\\\implies 8x=6\\x=\frac{3}{4}$

We get:

$a_1+a_2=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_3=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_4=2x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\a_5=3x=\frac{9}{4}\\\\a_6=5x=\frac{15}{4}\\\\a_7=8x=6\\\\a_8=13x=\frac{39}{4}\\\\a_9=21x=\frac{63}{4}\\\\a_{10}=34x=\frac{102}{4}\\$

Therefore, we calculate

$\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}$
