Step-by-step explanation:
The trick here is to realize that this is not a sum of the money that the three people paid originally, as that would need to include the money the clerk has ($25). This is instead a sum of a smaller amount the people could have paid ($9 × 3 people = $27), added with the additional money that the clerk would not have needed had they paid that smaller amount ($27 paid - $25 actual cost = $2). Another way to say this is, the $27 already includes the bellhop's tip. To add the $2 to the $27 would be to double-count it. So, the three guests' cost of the room, including the bellhop's tip, is $27. Each of the 3 guests has $1 in his pocket, totaling $3. When added to the $27 revised cost of the room (including tip to the bellhop), the total is $30.
To obtain a sum that totals to the original $30, every dollar must be accounted for, regardless of its location.
Thus, the sensible sum can be expressed in this manner:
Find the scale factor then multiply 3 by scale factor to find m. Scale factor is found by dividing larger side by smaller side. In this example, divide 10 by 6. (10 / 6 = 1.66666...) This means the larger triangle is 1.6x bigger than the smaller one. Then multiply 3 by 1.6666.. to find m. Hope this helps! :)
Btw your answer would be m = 5 but I didn’t want to give that away right away.
A system of equations is a set of two or more equations that share two or more unknowns. The solutions to a system of equations are all the values that make all of the equations true, or the points where the graphs of the equations intersect.
We can solve a system of linear equations through graphing, substitution and linear combination. Systems of nonlinear functions, such as quadratic or exponential equations, can be handled with the same techniques.
No because the y-values are not increasing exponentially. They are only increasing by 4's.
