(7.5)What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
koban [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the same scaling factor s applies to all sides when transforming from the small to the large triangle.

x×s = x + 5

(x-2)×s = x +1

=> s = (x+5)/x

=> (x-2)×(x+5)/x = x + 1

=> x² + 3x - 10 = x² + x

=> 3x - 10 = x

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5

A large cheese pizza costs $7.50. Each additional topping for the pizza costs $1.35. If the total bill for the pizza Sally order
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: She ordered 4 toppings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total cost of pizza  = $ 12.90

Cost of pizza =$7.50

Price per topping = $1.35

Let x = Number of toppings,

Total cost of pizza = (Cost of pizza) + (price per topping) × (Number of topping)  

12.90= 7.50+1.35x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.35x=12.90-7.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.35x=5.4\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{5.4}{1.35}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{540}{135}=4

hence, she ordered 4 toppings.

Umm so I'm confused<br> The question says<br> 5x - 2y = 24<br> x + 2y = 12
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=24

x+2y=12

add the two equations

(5x-2y)+(x+2y)=24+12

6x=36

x=6

Plug in x=6 into any of the two equations

5(6)-2y=24

30-2y=24

-6= -2y

y= 3

x=6

y=3
