Answer:
y = x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
If youre writing an exprssion all you need to do is make variables and multiply by the given number A, C, and S will be our variables.
2A + 3C + 1S = Total cost for andrews family
4A + 2C = Total cost for Spencers family
Now, Does 2A + 3C + 1S = 4A + 2C
lets say A = 5 , C = 3 , and S = 2
2(5) + 3(3) + 1(2) = 4(5) + 2(3)
10 + 9 + 2 = 20 + 6
21 = 26
if this is your example then No, the spencers family spent more than the andrews family, youll have to do the math differently and may come up with a different answer if you were given values that you didn't give us, but this is how its done :)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
c = 42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of the triangle are a and b and the hypotenuse is c
Let a be the shorter leg
The hypotenuse is 5 more than the longest leg
c = b+5
The shortest leg is 20
a = 20
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
Substituting in what we know from above
20 ^2 + b^2 = (b+5)^2
FOIL (b+5)^2 = b^2 +5b+5b +25 = b^2+10b+25
400 + b^2 = b^2+10b+25
Subtract b^2 from both sides
400+b&2-b^2 = b^2 -b^2 +10b+25
400 = 10b+25
Subtract 25 from both sides
400-25 = 10b+25-25
375 = 10b
Divide by 10
375/10 = 10b/10
37.5 = b
But we want to find c
c=b+5
c = 37.5+5
c = 42.5
Find how much it grew:
53 - 20 = 33 inches.
Divide the amount it grew by the original length
33/20 = 1.65
Subtract 1:
1.65 - 1 = 0.65
Multiply by 100 for percent:
0.65 x 100 = 65%
The percent increase is 65%
