Since the triangles are similar, we can use ratios to find what x equals.

Ratios:
3x+8/4 = 25/5

The easiest way to solve ratios, in my opinion is to cross multiply.

3x+8*5 = 4*25. Simplify to get 15x + 40 = 100.

Subtract 40 on both sides. 15x = 60.

Divide 15 on both sides. x = 4.

Answer:

The answer is A (y = 2x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B and D aren't correct because the y-intercept is a positive 2 instead of negative 2 like the graph shown. We're now left with A and C. Go on one point of the graph and count up or down to go on the same y value as the other point. Go left or right and count until you go to the same point. Remember that the slope equation is rise/run. Rise meaning up or down. Run meaning left or right.

Kayson mixes 300 milliliters ( mL ) (mL) of spinach, 200mL of berries, and 42mL of dressing to make a salad. There are s s milli

BigorU [14]

Answer:

X= (300 s + 200 b + 42 d )mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of spinach=300 ml

Amount of berries =200 ml

amount of dressing = 42 ml

Vitamin C in one ml of spinach = s mg

Vitamin C in 300 ml of spinach = 300 s mg

Vitamin C in one ml of berries=b mg

Vitamin C in 200 ml of berries = 200 b mg

Vitamin C in one ml of dressing = d mg

Vitamin C in 42 ml of dressing = 42 d mg

Let total vitamin C be = x

Then

X= (300 s + 200 b + 42 d )mg

is the required expression
