Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substituting values
=
( cross- multiply )
21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute
21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )
x = 6 → C
Answer:
9 Model As.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represent Press A and let B represent Press B.
So, they own 14 total presses. This means that:
They can print 905 books per day, in other words, since A prints 70 per day and B prints 55 per day:
This is now a system of equations. Solve by substitution. From the first equation, subtract B from both sides:
Substitute this into the second equation: "
First, we can divide everything by 5 to simplify things:
Distribute the left:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 196 from both sides:
Divide both sides by -3
So, the company has 5 Model B presses.
Which means that the company has 14-5 or 9 Model A presses.
And we're done!
