Answer: AC : BC = 22 : 33 = 2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

AB = 3x-4

AC= 2x+12

BC = 7x-2

And AB: AC = 1 : 2

and To show : AC : BC = 2 : 3

So, it becomes ,

\dfrac{AB}{AC}=\dfrac{3x-4}{2x+12}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\2(3x-4)=2x+12\\\\6x-8=2x+12\\\\6x-2x=12+8\\\\4x=20\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\\x=5

So, AC: BC becomes:

\dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{3x-4}{7x-2}=\dfrac{2(5)+12}{7(5)-2}=\dfrac{22}{33}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Hence, proved.

Point T' has coordinates (-3, 4). If it was translated up 3 units, what were the coordinates of its pre-image?
MrMuchimi
Translation refers to a rigid motion or transformation where you move an object from one location to another. 
Translations are base on the rule (x,y) -- (x+a, y+b) where the words right and left represent the change in the x-axis, and the words up and down the change in the y-axis.

In this exercise it is asked you to find the coordinates of the preimage of point T', which has the coordinates (-3,4) and is the effect of a translation of 3 units up. As previous said, the words up and down represent a change on the y-axis, meaning that the y-coordinate is the one that should be changed.

If the translation from the preimage to the image was 3 units up, then the preimage can be found by subtracting three units.
Pre-image: (-3,4-3)= (-3,1)

The point that represents the coordinates of the pre-image is (-3,1).

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

I believe it is 40. I'm not 100% sure though

Step-by-step explanation:

If 20% of the candy is reese's and there are 8 reese's in the basket, to find the answer you must multiply 8 by 5. You multiply 8 by 5 because to get 100% you have to multiply 20% by 5 to get 100%.
