No, She is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the greatest common factor of the expression 20x + 100xy.
Given expression 20x + 100xy.
Let us factor the expression 20x + 100xy.
Now take the common factor in the expression 20x + 100xy.
The common factor is 20x.
So, 20x + 100xy = 20x( 1+ 5y)
But Claudia says that the greatest common factor is 20(x+5xy).
The GCF is wrong.
So, she is not correct.
Answer:
Its either 18.125 or 145 / 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since these two triangles are similar, the ratio between the corresponding lengths of each triangle will be the same.
This means the ratio between one side of each triangle (e.g. AD and DC) will be the same as the ratio between a different side of each triangle (e.g. BE and BC).
So, to create an equation for the sides which contain the unknown 'x', we must first find the ratio between the two sides by using a different set of sides.
On the right side we are given 9 for AD, and 18 for DC.
9/18 = 0.5
This means that the extra length of the larger triangle from the smaller one (AD) is half the length of the smaller triangle (DC). We can use this to make an equation for x:
If AD/DC = 0.5, then BE/EC will also = 0.5
BE = x+23
EC = x+41
Therefore:

Now we can solve by multiplying both sides by x+41 to eliminate the fraction:

Now we multiply out the brackets and move the terms to different sides:



And if we substitute the -5 into the equations:
-5+23 = 18
-5 + 41 = 36
We will see that -5 does indeed give us the same ratio between the lengths:
18/36 = 0.5
Hope this helped!
Gallon of milk: $3.49
3lbs oranges: $1.14(3) = $3.42
Box of cereal: $3.46
Front end estimation is taking the number in front and the rest of the numbers coming after it will be zeroes.
Using front end estimation:
$3.49 => $3.00
$3.42 => $3.00
$3.46 => $3.00
Add all these up; Shen estimated the total cost of the groceries would be $9.00.
