Similar shapes may or may not be congruent.

The value of x is (a) 9.0

The corresponding sides are:

AB and DE
BC and EF
AC and DF

The side lengths are:

$\mathbf{DE = 41}$

$\mathbf{EF = 23}$

$\mathbf{DF = 36}$

$\mathbf{AC = 5x - 9}$

Because the shapes are congruent, and AC corresponds to DF.

This means that:

$\mathbf{AC = DF}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{5x - 9 = 36}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{5x = 9 + 36}$

$\mathbf{5x = 45}$

Divide both sides by 5

$\mathbf{x = 9.0}$

<em>Hence, the correct option is (a) 9.0</em>

Let $a$ be the number of hours worked at Job A and $b$ the number of hours at Job B. Then

$a+b=30$

and

$7.5a+8b=234.50$

From the first equation,

$b=30-a$

and substituting this into the second gives

$7.5a+8(30-a)=234.50\implies-0.5a+240=234.50$

$\implies0.5a=5.50$

$\implies\boxed{a=11}$

Use the properties of logarithms to expand the following expression as much as possible. Simplify any numerical expressions that

sweet [91]

Answer:

$f(x,y) = \log_{4} (x-5-\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})+\log_{4} (x-5+\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $f(x,y) = \log_{4}(2\cdot x^{2}-20\cdot x +12\cdot y)$ , this expression is simplified by algebraic and trascendental means. As first step, the second order polynomial is simplified. Its roots are determined by the Quadratic Formula, that is to say:

$r_{1,2} = \frac{20\pm \sqrt{(-20)^{2}-4\cdot (2)\cdot (12\cdot y)}}{2\cdot (2)}$

$r_{1,2} = 5\pm \sqrt{25-6\cdot y}$

The polynomial in factorized form is:

$(x-5-\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})\cdot (x-5+\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})$

The function can be rewritten and simplified as follows:

$f(x,y) = \log_{4} [(x-5-\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})\cdot (x-5+\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})]$

$f(x,y) = \log_{4} (x-5-\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})+\log_{4} (x-5+\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})$

Dad is 7 times as old as his son. 10 years later, he will be three times as old as his son.find their ages?

lisabon 2012 [21]

So dad is represented by x
son is represented by y

so x is (x=) 7 times his son (7y)

our first sentence is x=7y

10 years later (x+10, y+10) he will be 3 times as old as his son (x+10=3(y+10))
or 10+x=3(y+10)

so our sentences are
x=7y
and
x+10=3(y+10)
first we subsitute x=7y for x in the second equation
(7y)+10=3(y+10)
7y+10=3(y+10)
we distribute
7y+10=3y+30
subtract 3y from both sides
4y+10=30
subtract 10 from both sides
4y=20
divide both sides by 4
y=5

the son is currently 5 years old
x=7y
subsitute y=5 for y in equation
x=7(5)
x=35
the dad is currently 35 years old
in 10 years
dad is 45 and son is 15

dad=35
son=5
