Answer:

CE = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, BD divides AC and CE proportionally. This implies that:

BC:AB = DC:DE

Plug in the values

(x - 5)/6 = 14/(2x + 3)

(x - 5)(2x + 3) = 14*6

x(2x + 3) -5(2x + 3) = 84

2x² + 3x - 10x - 15 = 84

2x² - 7x - 15 - 84 = 0

2x² - 7x - 99 = 0

Factorize

2x² - 18x + 11x - 99 = 0

2x(x - 9) +11(x - 9) = 0

(2x + 11)(x - 9) = 0

2x = -11

x = -11/2

Or

x = 9

Let's take the positive value of x

Thus:

CE = 14 + 2x + 3

Plug in the value of x

CE = 14 + 2(9) + 3

CE = 14 + 18 + 3

CE = 35

Ann [662]

Answer: 34.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin x             = ³/₁₀

Sin x              = 0.30

Since we are determining the value of x,

x                    = sin⁻1 (0.30), this is called the inverse of sin or arc of sine, this could be calculated using your calculator by pressing the second function or the shift on the calculator and then press the sin⁻1

Therefore

x                  =    17.46

2x                =    17 46 x 2

                   =    34. 915

                   ≅  34. 92

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

72.225 $

Step-by-step explanation:

The price per pack: 5.00 $

When the amount of packs is > 10 :

90 % * 5 $ = 4.50 $ before tax.

The price of 15 packs:

4.50 $ * 15 = 45 + 22.5 = 67.5 $ before tax.

After tax:

107 % * 67.5 $  = 72.225 $ after tax.
