Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ.

Triangle XYZ is cut by line segment AB. Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. The length of XY is (5x - 7), the length of AB is (x + 1), and the lengths of XA and ZA are (2x - 2). The lengths of YB and BZ are congruent.

What is AX ?

2 units

4 units

6 units

8 units

From the figure attached,

XYZ is a triangle having A and B as the midpoints of the sides XZ and YZ.

By the theorem of midpoints,

AB = $\frac{1}{2}\text{(XY)}$

Since AB = (x + 1) and XY = (5x - 7)

(x + 1) = $\frac{1}{2}(5x-7)$

2x + 2 = 5x - 7

5x - 2x = 2 + 7

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore, side AB = 3 + 1 = 4 units

Side XY = (5x - 7)

= 15 - 7

= 8 units

Side XA = 2(x - 1)

= 4 units

Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.

An up-and-coming artist has 85 followers on Twitter and this number doubles every week. In what week will the artist first reach

Alik [6]

Answer:

5.8 , which approximately is 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first method is the short one since u just have to double the 85 then divide to 1000.

1000 ÷ ( 85 × 2)

1000 ÷ 170 = 5.882,,,,,. round off to whole number to get 6.

the second method is the addition method.

we start by 85 then keep doubling 85 for every week........inshort.......we add 170 to each weeks number to get the number of followers for the following week.

85 ⇒ 170 ⇒ 340 ⇒ 510 ⇒ 680 ⇒ 850 ⇒ 1020.

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th week.

u notice that we add (85×2), 170, to get the following week's number of followers..

in 5 weeks..... the number of followers is yet to get to 1000.

when u divide, u get 5.8.....,and it is not logic to say 5.8823....weeks

since she reaches 1000 followers in the 6th week.......though there is an addition,,,, it is the most appropriate answer.

A gallon of Moo Milk costs \$5.12$5.12dollar sign, 5, point, 12. What is the price, in dollars, of an 888 ounce glass of Moo Mil

Sladkaya [172]

The correct statement is:
A gallon of Moo Milk costs $5.12 What is the price, in dollars, of an 8 ounce glass of Moo Milk? There are 128 ounces in 1 gallon.

Solution:
Cost of 1 gallon of Moo Milk = $ 5.12

1 gallon = 128 ounces, so we can write:

Cost of 128 ounces of Moo Milk = $ 5.12

Cost of 1 ounce of Moo Milk = $ 5.12/128 = $ 0.04

Cost of 8 ounces of Moo Milk = $ 0.04 x 8 = $ 0.32

Thus, 8 ounces of Moo Milk will cost $ 0.32

An Adult ticket at an amusement park costs $24.95 and a child's ticket costs $15.95. A group of 10 people paid $186.50 to enter

leva [86]

Answer:

There were 3 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Derive the first expression

a+c=10...equation 1

where;

a=number of adults

c=number of children

And total number of people=10

Step 2: Derive the second expression;

Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)

where;

Total cost of tickets=$186.50

price per child ticket=$15.95

price per adult ticket=$24.95

number of children=c

number of adults=a

replacing;

(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5

24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2

Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously

24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5

24.95(a+c=10)

(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)

-9 c=-63

c=-63/-9

c=7

replace the value for c in equation 1

a+c=10

a+7=10

a=10-7

a=3

A factory produces 1,250,000 toys each year. The number of toys is expected to increase by about 150% per year. Which model can

kozerog [31]

Answer: Our required model is $n=1250000(1.15)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of toys = 1,250,00

Every year is expected to increase by about 150% pr year.

So, initial value = 1250,000

Rate of change = 150%

Let the number of time = t years.

So, we will use "Compound interest":

$n=P(1+\dfrac{r}{100})^t\\\\n=1250000(1+\dfrac{150}{100})^t\\\\n=1250000(1+1.50)^t\\\\n=1250000(1.15)^t$

Hence, our required model is $n=1250000(1.15)^t$
