PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Ben worked 6 hours at x dollars per hour. Julie worked 9 hours and earned twice as much as Ben per hour. Phil worked 16 hours and earned 3 dollars an hour less than Julie. Choose the expression that is correctly simplified and best represents their total wages. A. 56x – 48 B. 40x – 48 C. 31x – 3 D. 40x – 3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ben worked 6 hours at x dollars per hour. That is,

Ben earns = 6x

Julie worked 9 hours and earned twice as much as Ben per hour. That is,

Julie earns = 9 × 2x = 18x

Phil worked 16 hours and earned 3 dollars an hour less than Julie

That is,

Phil earns = 16 × ( 2x - 3 )

= 32x - 48

Total wages = 6x + 18x + 32x - 48

Total wages = 56x - 48

Option A is therefore the best option which is the answer to the question.

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
