Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used. He has another gift card for $145 that loses

$3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used. Write an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal. Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Answer:

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 30-day periods.

Tavon has a gift card for $165 that loses $4 for each 30-day period it is not used.

Therefore the equation =

$165 -$4 × x

= 165 - 4x.......... Equation 1

He has another gift card for $145 that loses $3.50 for each 30-day period it is not used.

$145 -$3.50 × x

= 145 - 3.50x........... Equation 2

Hence, an equation for the number of 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is obtained by equating Equation 1 and Equation 2 together

So, we have

Equation 1 = Equation 2

165 - 4x = 145 - 3.50x

We simplify further:

165 - 145 = -3.50 + 4.0x

20 = 0.5x

x = 20/0.5

x = 40

Therefore, number of each 30-day periods until the value of the gift cards will be equal is 40

How does the area of triangle RST compare to the area of triangle LMN? The area of △RST is 2 square units less than the area of
sashaice [31]
Inscribe triangle RST in the square with dimensions 4×4, as shown in the figure. 

from the area of this square, 4*4=16, we remove the triangles with dimensions 
3×4, 2×1 and 2×4, whose side lengths are shown in the figure, and we are left with the area of triangle RST.


so Area(RTS)=16- \frac{1}{2}*3*4-  \frac{1}{2}*2*1-  \frac{1}{2}*2*4=16-6-1-4=5 units squared

similarly, 

Area(LMN)=4*3- \frac{1}{2}*1*4- \frac{1}{2}*2*2- \frac{1}{2}*2*3=12-2-2-3=5 units squared

Thus, the areas are equal.

How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over X Y EndFracti
dangina [55]

Answer:

<u>option 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown in the attached figure.

From the figure, we can deduce that:

∠U ≅ ∠X and ∠W ≅ ∠Z  and ∠V ≅ ∠Y

So, ΔUWV similar to ΔXZY

But it is required to know " How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? "

So, we need to prove the corresponding angles are proportion

With the help of the previous corresponding angles.

So, we need to show that the ratios \frac{UV}{XY}  \ , \ \frac{WU}{ZX} \  and \ \frac{WV}{ZY} are equivalent.

So, the answer is <u>option 1</u>

To make a profit, a clothing store sells jeans at 115% the amount they paid for them. How much did the store pay for the jeans s
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount the clothing store pay for Jean be X

Let the amount the clothing store sells Jean be Y = X ×1.15

The profit (P) made is the difference between amount the clothing store sells Jean and the amount paid for Jean = Y - X = 1.15X - X

Profit (P)  = 0.15X

X =  P/0.15 = 6.67P

Therefore, the store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans
