Answer:

$21.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically how I did it was to multiply 5.08 by 4, because that would be the cost of 16 bags and then I divided 5.08 by 4 to see how much one bag would cost. One bag costs 1.27. After I've got the answer, I added 1.27 to 20.32 and got $21.59.

Answer:

x = -5 or x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

|-4x-6| = 14

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

-4x-6 = 14 -4x-6 = -14

Add 6 to each side

-4x-6+6 = 14+6 -4x-6+6 = -14+6

-4x = 20 -4x = -8

Divide by -4

-4x/-4 = 20/-4 -4x/-4 = -8/-4

x = -5 x = 2

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}$ , by the corresponding angles theorem, $\angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED$ . This means $\triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE$ by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5$
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.
