I need help with this problem: Mei subscribed to a magazine at a rate of $24 for 12 issues. When she placed her order, Mei used a coupon that added 3 free bonus issues to her subscription. How did the coupon impact the cost per issue of Mei’s subscription? These are the answer choices:
The coupon lowered the cost per issue by $0.40.
The coupon lowered the cost per issue by $1.38.
The coupon raised the cost per issue by $0.13.
The coupon raised the cost per issue by $0.67.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

x/3-10=8

x/3=18

x=48

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
