Samantha charges $15 to mow a lawn.

She mows 1 lawn on Tues, 3 lawns on Wed, 2 lawns on Thurs, making it a total of 6 lawns per week

First, multiply 6 with the amount of weeks in all

6 x 4 = 24

She mows 24 lawns in all. Multiply it by $15

24 x 15 = 360

$360 is your answer

hope this helps

14

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
