Answer:

No, they aren't the same (equivalent).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for both equations:

<u>Equation #1</u>: <em>6x-6=3x </em>

Simplifying

6x + -6 = 3x

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 6x = 3x

Solving

-6 + 6x = 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x

-6 + 3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-6 + 3x = 0

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 3x = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 3x = 0 + 6

3x = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6

3x = 6

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 2

Simplifying

<u>Equation #2</u><em>: </em><em>x-1=3x</em>

Simplifying

x + -1 = 3x

Reorder the terms:

-1 + x = 3x

Solving

-1 + x = 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-1 + x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x

-1 + -2x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-1 + -2x = 0

Add '1' to each side of the equation.

-1 + 1 + -2x = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + 1

-2x = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1

-2x = 1

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -0.5

Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle B

Stels [109]

Answer:

The single transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle B is the reflection about the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (x, y) is reflected about the x-axis, then its image is (x, -y)

If the point (x, y) is reflected about the y-axis, then its image is (-x, y)

From the given figure

∵ The vertices of triangle A are (1, -2), (4, -1), (4, -4)

∵ The vertices of triangle B are (1, 2), (4, 1), (4, 4)

→ Look at the y-coordinates of the vertices of the two triangles, they

have the same values and opposite signs

∵ The image of (1, -2) is (1, 2)

∵ The image of (4, -1) is (4, 1)

∵ The image of (4, -4) is (4, 4)

→ By using the first rule above

∴ Triangle A is reflected about the x-axis

The single transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle B is the reflection about the x-axis

One face of a cube-shaped package has an area of 7 5/8 square inches what is the lateral surface area of the package in square i

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

232.57 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the lateral surface area of the package in square inches is shown below;

Let us assume the area of cube is a

Given that

a = $7 \frac{5}{8}\ in^2$

As we know that in a cube there is a four faces so the lateral surface area would be

$= 4a^2\\\\=4\times 7\frac{5}{8} ^2\\\\= 4\times (\frac{61}{8})^2\\\\= 4\times \frac{3721}{64} \\\\= 232.57$

= 232.57 square inches
