Write a story that matches the expression 42x - 5

Hello there!

The equation is: 42x - 5

That can be phrased as "the difference between 42 times a number x and 5"

And we want to write a story that matches this.

an example can be:

Suppose that Jon craft musical instruments and he sells them in the beach, then you could write:

"The revenue in a day for Jon is equal to $42 for each instrument that he sells, less a 5 dollar fee that he needs to pay every day"

where the number of instruments would be x.

i believe the answer is c.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
