Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms.

5x + 6 = -24

Subtract 6 from both sides.

5x = -30

Divide by 5 on both sides.

x = -6

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$

In Andrew’s Furniture Shop, he builds bookshelves and tables. Each type of furniture takes him about the same time to make. He f

olasank [31]

Given:
Cost to build a bookshelf = $20
Cost to build a table = $45
Amount available to spend = $600

Let x = number of bookshelves built.
Let y = number of tables built.

The total number of bookshelves and tables = 18.
Therefore
x + y = 18.
That is,
y = 18 - x (1)

The total amount available to build x bookshelves and y tables = $600. Therefore
20x + 45y = 600
That is (dividing through by 5),
4x + 9y = 120 (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
4x + 9(18 - x) = 120
4x + 162 - 9x = 120
-5x = -42
x = 8.4
From (1),obtain
y = 18 - 8.4 = 9.6

Because we cannot have fractional bookshelves and tables, we shall test values of x=8, 9 and y=9,10 for profit

Note: The profit is $60 per bookshelf and $100 per table.
If x = 8, then y = 18-8 = 10.
The profit = 8*60 + 10*100 = $1480

If x = 9, then y = 18-9 = 9.
The profit = 9*60 + 9*100 = $1440

The choice of 8 bookshelves and 10 tables is more profitable.

Answer: 8 bookshelves and 10 tables.
