If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:
(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11
Then, solve:
2x + 16 = x - 11
2x = x -27
x = -27
This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.
-27 + 8 = -19
-19 x 2 = -38
-38 is 11 less than -27.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The correct option is 3. The value of x is 8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 to form Figure B. It means both figure are similar and corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
Multiply both sides by 16.
Since scale factor is 1/2, so we can directly say that the side length of image is half of the corresponding side of preimage.
The length of x is 8 inches. Therefore the correct option is 3.
Lets look at the information we have:-
$7.50 per hour
How many hours to earn $116.25?
To answer this we will divide. Lets do it:-
116.25 ÷ 7.50 = 15.5
15 and a half hours.
CHECK OUR WORK:-
15.5 × 7.50 = 116.25
We were RIGHT!!
So, to earn $116.25 when getting paid $7.50 per hour you would need to work for 15 and a half hours.
Hope I helped ya!!!
Answer:
segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.
The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:
- EF corresponds to LM
- EG corresponds to LN
- FG corresponds to MN
Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...
EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice
EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice
