24 feet long :)
All I did was I divided the 36 into 3 equal parts of 12, then doubled the 12 to make that longer piece 24 feet. This 24 foot piece would be twice as long as the other leftover 12 foot piece since 12x2=24

What is the y-value of the solution to the system of equations?
alukav5142 [94]

Let's solve for x first,


3x + 5y - 5y = 1 - 5y

3x/3 = 1/3 - 5y/3

x = 1/3 - 5/3y


Let's now plug that into the other equation,


7(1/3 - 5/3y) + 4y = -13

7/3 - 35/3y + 4y = -13

7/3 - 7 2/3y - 7/3 = -13 - 7/3

- 7 2/3y (-3/23) = -15 1/3 (-3/23)

y = 2



The answer is 2

A morning truck can carry no more than 1480 pounds of cargo. Brian loaded 640 pounds into the truck already. He is loading boxes
guajiro [1.7K]

Given :

A morning truck can carry no more than 1480 pounds of cargo.

Brian loaded 640 pounds into the truck already.

He is loading boxes that weigh 70 pounds.

To Find :

How many boxes can he out into the truck.

Solution :

Weight left for carrying cargo, W = 4180 - 640 pounds

W = 3540 pounds

Number of boxes of 70 pounds cargo he can carry in truck is :

n =\dfrac{3540}{70}\\\\n = 50.57 ≈ 50 .

Therefore, number of box they can carry is 50.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why isn't a dilation considered a rigid transformation?
dexar [7]
It's not rigid because dilations (scale factor not equal to 1) change the length of the segments, or the distances between the points. You'll get a similar figure but it won't be congruent. For example, if the scale factor is 3, then the distances will be three times as large; or the lengths will be 3 times as long. 

To be "rigid", the lengths must be kept the same. In contrast, a reflection is rigid because the distances are kept the same. The only thing changing is the orientation (clockwise to counter-clockwise, or vice versa).
