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.

What does c equal in thus equation I don't know for the life of me help is deeply appreciated 4(3+c)+c=c+4
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(3+c)+c=c+4

(4)(3)+(4)(c)+c=c+4(Distribute)

12+4c+c=c+4

(4c+c)+(12)=c+4(Combine Like Terms)

5c+12=c+4

5c+12=c+4

Step 2: Subtract c from both sides.

5c+12−c=c+4−c

4c+12=4

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

4c+12−12=4−12

4c=−8

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4c

4

=

−8

4

c=−2

Is the function represented by the table linear
Bess [88]

Answer:

No, because it does not have a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the <em>x</em><em> </em>side of the table, there is a constant rate of change (+1). However, on the y side, it is not. The first change is +7, the next +5, and the last +6. The rate of change has to be constant on both sides for the table to be considered linear.
