In this problem, you have already shown the solution.
24 = 3y - 6 => 30 = 3y, y =10
12 = 5x + 2 => 10 = 5x , x = 2
And yes, basically parallel sides must have the same length
These are the answers:
for 17.) x = 2
y = 10
for 18.) mid segment = (side 1 + side 2) / 2 -->
19 = (24 + side2) / 2 -->
38 = 24 + side2,
thus, side 2 = 14 units
Answer:
$9327
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, the cost function is supposed to be ...
C(x) = 0.4x^2 -112x +17167
This can be rewritten to vertex form as ...
C(x) = 0.4(x^2 -280) +17167
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +17167 -0.4(19600)
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +9327
The vertex of the cost function is ...
(x, C(x)) = (140, 9327)
The minimum unit cost is $9327.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
You found the number of units that result in minimum cost (140 units), but you have to evaluate C(140) to find the minimum unit cost.

I can solve with 2 methods:
I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $
18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)
II. The discount is 15 % of 18$
15*18/100= 2,7$ ( the discount)
then I decrease it from the regularly price
18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)
Personally I believe the first is an easier method.
I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's consider all the information given</u>:
- Eddie's pension is based on the average of his last four year's salaries

2. The employer will pay 1.2% of that average for each year he worked

3. The employer will therefore pay in total

<u>Answer: $23520</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helps!
