1. Given the bases a and b of a trapezoid, the length of the median m can be found by the formula $m= \frac{a+b}{2}$

2. MP and NO are the bases so applying the above formula:

$24= \frac{(x+8)+(5x+4)}{2}$

$48= 6x+12$

$6x=36$

x=6

Check the picture for the proof of the theorem m=(a+b)/2

8090 [49]

Answer:

James's monthly income is $1250.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the budget accounts for James's entire monthly income, the sum of the cost of all the items on the budget is his total monthly income.

Income = 300 + 175 + 125 + 200 + 250 + 50 + 25 + 125 = $1250

30 PTS!!!!! Cole needs to include at least 11 mg and at most 22 mg of iron in his diet each day. Cole plans to eat multiple ba

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A:</u> If Cole eats 3 bananas each day. These 3 bananas contain $3\cdot 0.3=0.9$ mg of iron.

Let x be the number of vitamins Cole takes. Each whole vitamin contains 4 mg of iron, then x vitamins contain 4x mg of iron.

The total amount of iron Cole takes is

$0.9+4x\ mg$

Cole needs to include at least 11 mg and at most 22 mg of iron in his diet each day, so

$11\le 0.9+4x\le 22$

Solve it:

$11-0.9\le 4x\le 22-0.9\\ \\10.1\le 4x\le 21.1\\ \\2.525\le x\le 5.275$

The smallest number of vitamins - 3, the greatest number of vitamins - 5.

<u>Part B: </u>Cole continues to eat 3 bananas each day. He pays $\$2\cdot 7=\$14$ for bananas per week.

If Cole spends a total of $20 on bananas and vitamins this week, then he spent $20 - $14 = $6 on vitamins.

Let x be the number of vitamins Cole takes this week.

First 10 vitamins are free, then x - 10 vitamins each cost $0.50 (he pays an additional dollar for every 2 additional vitamins he purchases) and they cost

$\$0.50(x-10)$

This amount of money is exactly $6, so

$0.50(x-10)=6\\ \\5(x-10)=60\\ \\x-10=12\\ \\x=22$

This means Cole takes 3 vitamins per day (the whole number) and he is able to meet his iron requirement every day this week, based on answer in Part A.

At a desert resort, the temperature at 7 a.m. was 3°C. The temperature increased by an average of 3.4°C each hour until it reach

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: It will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: At a desert resort, the temperature at 7 a.m. was 3°C.

The temperature increased by an average of 3.4°C each hour until it reached 30.2°C.

Let x be the number of hours taken to reach 30.2°C..

As per given ,

Initial temperature +(average increase in temperature) (Number of hours) = 30.2

⇒3+3.4x=30.2

⇒3.4x=30.2-3

⇒3.4x=27.2

⇒ x=8 [Divide both sides by 3.4]

Hence, it will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.
