Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, PR is 12 more than twice PQ and If all three sides of the triangle have integer lengths, what is the largest possible value of x?

From the attached diagram, x = PQ

We have sides:

PQ, PR and QR

PR is 12 more than twice PQ

PR = 12 + 2PQ

PR = 12 + 2x

QR is two more than 4 times PQ.

QR = 2 + 4(PQ)

QR = 2 + 4x

Hence: we solve using Triangle Inequality

The triangle inequality states that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Based on this property, if you know the lengths of two sides of a triangle and are trying to find the range of lengths of the third side, you can add the two known side lengths together and subtract the smaller one from the bigger one. The third side must be greater than the sum of the other two sides and less than their difference.

PQ > PR + QR

PQ < PR - QR

Therefore:

x + 12 + 2x > 2 + 4x

3x + 12 > 2 + 4x

12 - 2 > 4x - 3x

10 = x

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Solution:

Given data:

∠ABC = 70° and ∠ACD = 55°

<em>If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.</em>

m∠BAC = m∠ACD

m∠BAC = 55°

<em>Sum of the angles in a straight line add up to 180°.</em>

m∠ACD + m∠ACB + m∠ABC = 180°

55° + m∠ACB + 70° = 180°

m∠ACB + 125° = 180°

Subtract 125° from both sides, we get

m∠ACB = 55°

In triangle ABC,

∠BAC = 55° and ∠ACB = 55°

∠BAC = ∠ACB

Two angles in the triangle are equal.

Therefor triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%. If the selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000, which of the following
Kisachek [45]

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.

selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000

Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write

x-\frac{40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \frac{100x-40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ \frac{60x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ 60x= 3000*100\\ \\ x=\frac{3000*100}{60} \\ \\ \ x=5*100=5000\\

Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000
