<h3>Answer: 104 miles</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = number of miles Amy drove
  • 2x = number of miles Jessica drove, since she drove twice the distance as Amy did

Combine the two expressions: x+2x = 3x

The two girls traveled a total distance of 312 miles, so 3x = 312

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x. You should get x = 104

Amy drove 104 miles and Jessica drove 2*104 = 208 miles

Check:

Amy + Jessica = 104 + 208 = 312

The answer is confirmed.

Answer:

Amy drove 104 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'a' = miles Amy drove

let '2a' = miles Jessica drove

a + 2a = 312

3a = 312

a = 312/3

a = 104

2a = 208

Check:  104+208 should equal 312 and it does

Answer:

∠ WZX = 50°

XW is not an altitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

16. See the attached figure.

XW is the angle bisector of ∠ YXZ, hence, ∠ WXY = ∠ WXZ

Now, given that ∠ YXZ = 8x + 34 and ∠ WXY = 10x - 13

Hence, ∠ YXZ = 2 ∠ WXY

⇒ 8x + 34 = 2(10x - 13)

⇒ 8x + 34 = 20x - 26

⇒ 12x = 60

⇒ x = 5.

Hence, ∠ XZY = ∠ WZX = 10x = 50° (Answer)

Now, ∠ WXZ = ∠ WXY = 10x - 13 = 37°

Hence, from Δ WXZ,

∠ WZX + ∠ WXZ + ∠ XWZ = 180°

⇒ 50° + 37° + ∠ XWZ = 180°

⇒ ∠ XWZ = 93° ≠ 90°

Hence, XW is not an altitude. (Answer)

Cassie's broker charges her a commission of $4.25 for every ten shares of stock bought or sold. Cassie buys 92 shares of Hyren A
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

2,850

Step-by-step explanation:

4.25 x 9 = 38.25

4.25 x 13 = 55.25

4.25 x 12 = 51

13.70 x 92 = 1260.4

3.28 x 130 = 426.4

8.06 x 126 = 1015.56

all totals would equal 2,846.86, which to the nearest would be $2,850
