Step 5: Using data from a specific town to write equations and draw conclusions about degrees earned. In Springfield, a specific town in the US, 6 women and 25 men earned bachelor degrees in 2000. In 2010, however, 391 women and 410 men in that town earned bachelor degrees. Assume that the rate of change was constant between 2000 and 2010.
a. Without using regression, write a system of equations that model the number of bachelor degrees earned by men and women in Springfield as a function of x, the number of years since 2000. Show your work.
a. Equation for Springfield’s men:

b. Equation for Springfield’s women:
b. When, if ever, will the number of women earning bachelor degrees equal the number of men earning bachelor degrees in Springfield? Justify your answer using appropriate mathematics vocabulary.

In δabc shown below, ∠bac is congruent to ∠bca: triangle abc, where angles a and c are congruent given: base ∠bac and ∠acb are congruent. prove: δabc is an isosceles triangle. when completed (fill in the blanks), the following paragraph proves that line segment ab is congruent to line segment bc making δabc an isosceles triangle. (4 points) construct a perpendicular bisector from point b to line segment ac . label the point of intersection between this perpendicular bisector and line segment ac as point d: m∠bda and m∠bdc is 90° by the definition of a perpendicular bisector. ∠bda is congruent to ∠bdc by the definition of congruent angles. line segment ad is congruent to line segment dc by by the definition of a perpendicular bisector. δbad is congruent to δbcd by the line segment ab is congruent to line segment bc because consequently, δabc is isosceles by definition of an isosceles triangle. 1. corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc) 2. the definition of a perpendicular bisector 1. the definition of a perpendicular bisector 2. the definition of congruent angles 1. the definition of congruent angles 2. the definition of a perpendicular bisector 1. angle-side-angle (asa) postulate 2. corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc)
