Solve for x. Help please

1 answer:

4 0

X = 10

The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.

9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2

Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2

Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8

Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96

Subtract 6
9x = 90

Divide by 9
x = 10

Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

Airline fares for a flight from Dallas to Austin are $30 for first class and $25 for tourist class. If a flight had 52 passenger

Nezavi [6.7K]

Set up 2 equations.(x = number of people in first class, y = tourist class)

30x + 25y = 1360
x + y = 52

You have 2 equations and 2 unknown. You can solve them.
I like to use the substitution method

Because y = 52 - x
Then 30x + 25(52 - x) = 1360, solve for x.

30x + 1300 - 25x = 1360
5x = 60
x = 12

Use the x to solve y
30(12) + 25y = 1360
360 + 25y = 1360
25y = 1000
y = 40
