Answer:

Option C. 7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

triangle PAM is similar to triangle RAE by AA Similarity Theorem

Remember that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

\frac{PA}{RA}=\frac{AM}{AE}

substitute the given values

\frac{20+x}{20}=\frac{25+9}{25}

solve for x

\frac{20+x}{20}=\frac{34}{25}

20+x=\frac{34}{25}(20)

x=\frac{34}{25}(20)-20

x=7.2\ units

A survey was conducted with 100 people. 20% said they liked Star Trek , 75% said they liked Star Wars, and 10% said they liked b
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The probability is 1/4 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 100% matches the 100 value, we can have the percentage as the number of people that actually likes a particular movie

This mean; 20 people liked star Trek, 75 people liked Star wars and 10 people liked both

Let the number of people that liked neither be x

Mathematically, we can have the sum as follows for the set notation;

100 = (75-10) + (20-10) + 10 + x

100 = 65 + 10 + 10 + x

100 = 85 + x

x = 100-85

x = 15

What this mean is that 15 persons liked neither

The probability of selecting a random that likes both movies is simply the number of people that liked both/total number of people on the survey

Mathematically, that will be 10/100 = 1/10

For the probability that likes neither, we have the number that liked neither as 15

So the probability of selecting someone from here is 15/100 = 3/20

Since we have or between both probabilities, we will need to add both

So, mathematically, we have it that;

3/20 + 1/10 = (3 + 2)/20 = 5/20 = 1/4 or simply 25%

Pls answer fast my teacher is waiting!
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

For company A, y = 24x + 42

For company B, y = 28x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of containers

y is the total cost

For company A, y = 24x + 42

For company B, y = 28x + 25

For the cost of both companies to be the same, then

24x + 42 = 28x + 25

28x - 24x = 42 - 25

4x = 17

x = 4.25

Mr Lycan would have to order about 4 containers so the cost would be the same from each company

a student bought a juice pouch for $2.50 and 3 bags of chips. the total cost was $5.05 write and solve an equation to determine
Wittaler [7]

First, write it as an equation

2.50+3x=5.05

Next, subtract 2.50 from both sides

2.50-2.50+3x=5.05-2.50

3x=2.55

Divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=2.55/3

x=0.85

The cost of a bag of chips is 0.85

hope i helped :D
