Answer:
x = 3
ST = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
if T is the midpoint then ST = TU
8x = 2x + 18 move like terms to the same side
8x - 2x = 18 subtract like terms
6x = 18 divide both sides by 6
x = 3 to find ST replace x with 3
Answer:
Area - 6 unit^2 Perimeter - 10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The shaded figure is 3 units long and 2 units high.
L = 3 W = 2
A = LW
A = 3 x 2 = 6 unit^2
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
P = 2(3) + 2(2)
P = 6 + 4 = 10 units
Answer:
(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.
Part A:
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.
The formula to compute the slope is:

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)
Compute the slope of the line as follows:


Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
Part B:
The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:
Number of Bushels Price
2 10
4 20
6 30
8 40
Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:
Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)


The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.
Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
