Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
its confusing
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
You just add the values for volunteers that worked 16-20 hours and 21-25 hours which would be 50 + 10 = 60. So the total number of volunteers that workers more than 15 hours is 60.
Hey there! :)
Answer:
y = 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set both of the equations equal:
5x - 9 = x² - 3x + 7
Rearrange the equation:
0 = x² - 3x - 5x + 9 + 7
Combine like terms:
0 = x² - 8x + 16
Factor:
0 = (x -4)²
Solve for x:
0 = x - 4
x = 4.
Plug this into an equation to solve for 'y':
y = 5(4) - 9
y = 20 - 9
y = 11.
