Answer:
88 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
body to tail = length of body + length of tail
body to tail = 54 cm + 34 cm
body to tail = 88 cm
The answer is A because the perpendicular slope is the opposite reciprocal which would be positive x.
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28

10:8

Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:

Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
-3x+13=16
Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.
-3x+13-13=16-13
-3x=16-13
-3x=3
Divide by -3 for both sides.
-3/-3x=3/-3
Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=-1
Answer: x=-1
