Elias’s teacher has given him a rectangle that is 15 feet by 20 feet. She has asked him to create a new rectangle using a scale

factor of 8/3. Elias says that will be a reduction because the scale factor is a fraction. Is he correct? Explain.

No, because the fraction is actually equal to a whole number. So it would be increased.

Answer:

Elias is not correct. The new rectangle will be an enlargement because the scale factor is greater than 1. To be a reduction, the scale factor must be between 0 and 1.

(x+y=3<br> (3x+2y=14<br> what is the coordinates for this problem
Ludmilka [50]


<span>3x - 2y + 2y > -14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 0 > -14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x > -14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 14 > -14 + 14 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 14 > 0 + 2y </span>

<span>3x + 14 > 2y </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > 2y/2 </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(2/2) </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(1) </span>

<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y </span>

<span>y < (3x + 14)/2 </span>

<span>y < 3x/2 + 14/2 </span>

<span>y < 3x/2 + 7 </span>

<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>“y” is LESS THAN (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>the slope intercept form of the inequality is: y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>


<span>STEP 2: Temporarily change the inequality into an equation by replacing the < symbol with an = symbol. </span>

<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>


<span>STEP 3: Prepare the x-y table using the equation from Step 2. </span>

<span>Using the slope intercept form of the equation from Step 2, choose a value for x, and then compute y for at least three points. </span>

<span>Although you could plot the graph with just two sets of x-y coordinates, you should compute at least three different sets of coordinates points to ensure you have not made a mistake. All three x-y coordinates must lie on the same straight line. If they do not, you have made a mistake. </span>

<span>You can choose any value for x. </span>


<span>For example, (arbitrarily) choose x = -2 </span>

<span>If x = -2, </span>

<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>

<span>y = (3/2)*(-2) + 7 </span>

<span>y = 4 </span>

One fifth of a number plus three times the number is equal to twice the number plus 42. What is the number
borishaifa [10]

Equation to find number's value: \frac{1}{5}n + 3n = 2n + 42

Number's value: n = 35


Explanation:

Let n be the unknown number for this problem.

One fifth of a number is the same as \frac{1}{5}n.

Three times the number is the same as 3n.

Twice the number plus 42 is the same as 2n + 42.

So, using the information we've gathered so far, we can create the equation that will provide us with n's value.

Equation: \frac{1}{5}n + 3n = 2n + 42

We can use this equation to find n's value.

You can subtract 2n from both sides to get the equation \frac{1}{5}n + n = 42, which is the same thing as the equation we were using.

Now add n and \frac{1}{5}n together to get 1\frac{1}{5}n.

After you do this, your equation should look like 1\frac{1}{5}n=42.

Now divide both sides by 1\frac{1}{5} to get n's value.

n = 35
