Answer:

Option D : $780 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

E = $500 + $7x

We will put all the values of given options to check.

A. Putting 430 in given expression

430 = 500 + 7x

430 - 500 = 7x

-70 = 7x

As the number of items sold cannot be negative, therefore, this option is not correct.

B. 530 = 500 + 7x

530 - 500 = 7x

30 = 7x

x = 4.3 (By dividing both sides by 7)

Which is not a whole number.

C. 680 = 500 + 7x

680 - 500 = 7x

7x = 180

x = 25.71

Which is also not a whole number.

D. 780 = 500 + 7x

780 - 500 = 7x

280 = 7x

7x = 280

x = 40

Which is a whole number.

Hence,

Option D : $780 is the correct answer.

What is the answer for number 8 and pls give step by step

Pie

Answer:

Trapezoid 1 (left side):

Base 1 = 2

Base 2 = 5

Trapezoid 2 (right side):

Base 1 = 6

Base 2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1st trapezoid:

b_1 = x

b_2 = x + 3

h = 4

Hence, area (from formula) would be:

$A=\frac{h}{2}(b_1+b_2)\\A=\frac{4}{2}(x+x+3)\\A=2(2x+3)\\A=4x+6$

2nd trapezoid:

b_1 = 3x

b_2 = 4x

h = 2

Putting into formula, we get:

$A=\frac{h}{2}(b_1+b_2)\\A=\frac{2}{2}(3x+4x)\\A=1(7x)\\A=7x$

Let's equate both equations for area and find x first:

$4x+6=7x\\6=7x-4x\\6=3x\\x=\frac{6}{3}\\x=2$

We can plug in 2 into x and find length of each base of each trapezoid.

Trapezoid 1 (left side):

Base 1 = x = 2

Base 2 = x + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5

Trapezoid 2 (right side):

Base 1 = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Base 2 = 4x = 4(2) = 8

GarryVolchara [31]

He should set up the refreshment stand on the incenter of the obtuse triangle. The incenter of a triangle is described as the intersection between the angle bisectors of a triangle. The inradius are the line segments from the incenter of the triangle to each of the three sides of the triangle which are all equal. The inradius is depicted as the radius of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Therefore, the shortest equal distance from his stand to each road is C. on the incenter.
