They are similar triangles because they are both right triangles
We are given that Jack and Jillian sell apples at a produce stand .
We are given that an expression which shows Jack's earning=2x-8
We have to find that first term what represent in the given expression
Jillian earns for each bag of apples she sells=$2
Let Jillian sold number of bags of apples =x
Then ,Jillian earn total at the end of the week =
Jack has earned $ 8 less than Jillian earn
Therefore, total earning of jack=
In the given expression the first term 2x represent the earning of Jillian.
So, this is asking for any number that subtracts to = 16-7
Well, 16-7= 9 so use any two numbers that would subtract to equal 9
Like so:
11-2=9
18-9=9
34-25=9
-2-11=9
Etc....
Hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
DE = 5x-2
DF = 3(x+3)
3(x+3) = 3 + 5x-2
3x+9= 5x+1
2x=8
x=4
DE=5×4-2=18
DE=18
Answer:
n = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminating parentheses, you have ...
2n +6 -6n = 14
Combining terms and subtracting 6, you get ...
-4n = 8
Dividing by the coefficient of n gives ...
n = -2
_____
<em><u>Check</u></em>
2(-2) +3(2 -2(-2)) = 14
-4 +3(2+4) = 14
-4 +3(6) = 14
-4 +18 = 14 . . . . answer checks OK
