Answer:

  72

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are said to be similar. (ΔNPQ ~ ΔRSQ) That means corresponding sides have the same ratio:

  NP/RS = NQ/RQ = PQ/SQ = 24/32 = 21/28 = 3/4

This ratio, or scale factor, also applies to the perimeters of the two triangles.

  perimeter NPQ / perimeter RSQ = 3/4

Using the given expressions for the perimeters, we have ...

  (7x +2)/(10x -4) = 3/4

We can solve this equation in the usual way to find the value of x. Then we can use that value to find the perimeter of ΔNPQ.

  4(7x +2) = 3(10x -4) . . . . . multiply both sides by 4(10x -4)

  28x +8 = 30x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  20 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-28x to both sides

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 10

The perimeter of ΔNPQ is ...

  7x +2 = 7(10) +2 = 72

The perimeter of triangle NPQ is 72 units.

Samantha is studying the population growth of an endangered birth. The growth can be modeled by the equation B(t) 100 + 3/5t^5 ,
solong [7]

The value of the population of the growth of an endangered birth after 5 years is 1975

<h3>How to determine the population after 5 years?</h3>

The population function is given as:

B(t) = 100 + 3/5t^5

At 5 years, the value of t is 5

So, we have

t = 5

Next, we substitute 5 for t in the equation B(t) = 100 + 3/5t^5

This gives

B(5) = 100 + 3/5 * 5^5

Evaluate the exponent

B(5) = 100 + 3/5 * 3125

Evaluate the product

B(5) = 100 + 1875

Evaluate the sum

B(5) = 1975

Hence, the value of the population of the growth of an endangered birth after 5 years is 1975

Answer:

Equation C: 5/8x + 2..5 = 3/8x + 1.5 + 1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us go through each of the equations one by one.

Equation A: 2.3y+2+3.1y=4.3y+1.6+1.1y+0.4

This simplifies to

5.4y+2=5.4y+2

which has infinitely many solutions.

Equation B: 32x+25-21x=10x

this simplifies to

x+25=0

x=-25

which is exactly one solution.

Equation C: \frac{5}{8} x+2.5=\frac{3}{8}x+1.5+\frac{1}{4} x

this simplifies to

\frac{5}{8} x+2.5=\frac{5}{8} +1.5

2.5=1.5

There's no way this is going to be possible; this equation has no solutions.

Equation D: \frac{1}{3} x+\frac{1}{7} x=\frac{3}{7} x

this gives

\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{7} y

y=\frac{7}{6}

which is exactly one solution.

Thus we see that it is equation C that has no solutions.

The sum of the opposite interior angles is equal to the exterior angle.

So,

∠CAB + ∠ACB = ∠CBD

x + 40 + 3x + 10 = 6x

4x + 50 = 6x

2x = 50

x = 25°

∠CAB = x + 40 = 25 + 40 = 65°

Hence, the answer is D.
