Answer: The length of JF = 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle DEF, segment DJ is a perpendicular bisector of side EF.

i.e. DJ is perpendicular to EF and DJ divides EF into two equal parts EJ and JF. [The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a line segment and splits it into two congruent segments.]

If EJ is 3y-8 and JF is 7y-40.

Then, $3y-8=7y-40$

$\Rightarrow\ 7y-3y=40-8\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=32\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=8 \text{ [Divide both sides by 4]}$

JF= 7(8)-40 =56-40= 16 units

Hence, the length of JF = 16 units.

The answer is 7.
If angels ABC and BCA are congruent, then their opposite sides are congruent (sides AB and AC). Therefore, 3x-7=2x, giving you the answer of 7 when solved.

Answer:

9:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

81 ÷ 9

9 ÷ 9

Reduced fraction:

9:1

Therefore, 81/9 simplified to lowest terms is 9/1.

The Farm Agency is to use only the letters A, B, and C to make tags. Let y be the number of tags they can make using n spaces. W

UNO [17]

Answer:

y= $3^{n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three letters A, B, C in order to make the tags and y is the number of tags that can be made using n spaces. So, there are three choices for the first letter A and three choices for the remaining two letters that are B and C respectively.

By the basic counting principle,

Formulae for the number of tags they can make using n spaces is: 3×3×3×3×..........×3( n times)

= $3^{n}$

Therefore, y= $3^{n}$

Answer:

1a: $84; 1b: 30,000A +15,000B; 1c: 37,000A +18,500B

2: 4,000 composite units

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your "composite unit" consists of the smallest set of units in the ratio in which they are sold.

A "composite unit" is 1B +2A. The contribution margins are the difference between the selling price and the variable cost per unit:

A: 72 -40 = 32

B: 48 -28 = 20

composite unit: 2A+B = 2(32) +20 = 84

(a) The contribution margin per composite unit is $84.

(b) The break-even point is the number of composite units that have a total contribution margin equal to the total fixed costs:

84n = 1260000

n = 1260000/84 = 15000

30,000 units of A and 15,000 units of B must be sold to break even.

294,000/84 = 3500

37,000 units of A and 18,500 units of B must be sold for a pretax income of $294,000.

Contribution margins per unit are ...

H: 6 -4 = 2

C: 8 -6 = 2

I: 10 -7 = 3

A composite unit is 3H +2C +I, so the contribution margin per composite unit is ...

3(2) +2(2) +1(3) = 6 +4 +3 = 13 . . . dollars

The break-even point is 52,000/13 = 4,000 composite units
