It’s B

33/11= 3
3*6= 18

18= 3x-6
24= 3x
x= 8

Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to solve this.

11/6=33/3x-6

cross multiply

11(3x-6)=33*6

distribute and multiply

33x-66=198

add 66 on both sides

33x=264

divide 33 on both sides

x=8

There are 9 cherry cokes, 3 diet cokes, and 4 coke zeros in a cooler. What is the proabiliyt of selecting a drink and getting a

Minchanka [31]

So there are 16 cokes in total...
the probability of selecting a cherry coke is 9/16
the probability of selecting a coke zero is 4/16
for there to be no replacement I guess you could combine diet cokes with coke zero because they are both cokes..
I don't know EXACTLY how to get the probability without a replacement.. sorry

A new truck that sells for 29,000 depreciates 12% each year. What is the decay factor b?

Katena32 [7]

$\bf y=a(b)^t\qquad or\qquad A=I(1-r)^t\qquad \textit{let's check}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}\\\\
A=I(1 - r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &29000\\
r=rate\to 12\%\to \frac{12}{100}\to &0.12\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=29000(1-0.12)^t\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
A=&29000(0.88)^t\\
&\uparrow \qquad\quad \uparrow \\
&a\qquad\quad b
\end{array}$
