Solve both equations for x:

2x+7 = 3

2x = -4

x = -2

Plug x into the equation which contains b:

b(-2) -10 = -2

-2b = 8

b = -4


Answer:

b = -4

x = -2

Which sequence of similar transformations could map △ABC onto △A'B'C'?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:  A sequence of similar transformations of dilation and translation could map △ABC onto △A'B'C'.


Step-by-step explanation:

Similar transformations:  If one figure can be mapped onto the other figure using a dilation and a congruent rigid transformation or a rigid transformation followed by dilation then the two figures are said to be similar.

In the attachment △ABC mapped onto △A'B'C' by a sequence of dilation from origin and scalar factor k followed by translation.

0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1<br> What value of x satisfies the equation above?
guapka [62]

Answer:

x = -1.5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Alg</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract 0.2x on both sides:          1 = 1.4x + 3.1
  2. Subtract 3.1 on both sides:             -2.1 = 1.4x
  3. Divide both sides by 1.4:                 -1.5 = x
  4. Rewrite:                                            x = -1.5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitution:                    0.2(-1.5) + 1 = 1.6(-1.5) + 3.1
  2. Multiply:                           -0.3 + 1 = -2.4 + 3.1
  3. Add:                                 0.7 = 0.7
