we know that

Triangles ABC and DEC are similar triangles

$\frac{AB}{AC} =\frac{ED}{DC}$

substitute the values

$\frac{42}{x} =\frac{6}{32-x}$

$42*(32-x)=6*x$

$7*(32-x)=x$

$224-7x=x$

$8x=224$

$x=28$

therefore

the answer is

The value of x is equal to $28$

Andrei has a job in the circus walking on stilts. Andrei is 11/10 meters tall. The foot supports of his stilts are 23/10 meters

vovangra [49]

First, add. 11/10 + 23/10 = 34/10
You can then simplify by finding the greatest common factor (2)
34/2, 10/2 = 17/5, or 3 and 2/5
Andrei is 3 and 2/5 meters tall

Benito wrote the equations shown about the figure. Explain Benito’s errors.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).

Explanation:

Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).

The congruency symbol (≅) means that the elements (segments, angles or figures in general) have the same measure, i.e. they have equal lengths for the segments or equal measure for the angles.

For instance, it is an error saying that the segment AB is equal to the segment BC because, as you clearly see in the picture, they are not same; they have the same length but they are joining different points, that makes them different in essence, although they have the same length. They would be equal only if they are the same figure.

In mathematics, you must not say that two different segments or two different angles are equal but they are congruent, which means that their lengths are equal. The use of equal is reserved for numbers and variables, not for figures like segment, points, angles, polygons.

The middle-school camera club sold 240 tulip bulbs and 360 daffodil bulbs. Students divided the bulbs into 100 bags to sell at t

Travka [436]

240 bulbs + 360 bulbs = 600 bulbs
The 600 total bulbs would then be divided by 100 bags and you would get 6 bulbs per bag as an answer
Hope this works gohan! xD

Question:

Sal is trying to determine which cell phone and service plan to buy for his mother. The first phone costs $100 and $55 per month for unlimited usage. The second phone costs $150 and $51 per month for unlimited usage.

The inequality that will determine the number of months, x, that are required for the second phone to be less expensive is .

The solution to the inequality is .

Sal’s mother would have to keep the second cell phone plan for at least months in order for it to be less expensive.

Answer:

a. $150 + 51x < 100 + 55x$
