Answer:

C.

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       20 ft

Using cross products

1*20 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

20/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.67 =x

We can do the same for the other dimension

1 in        x inches

-------- = ---------

7.5 ft       17 ft

Using cross products

1*17 = 7.5x

Divide each side by 7.5

17/7.5 =7.5x/7.5

2.27 =x

2.67 inches by 2.27 inches

If f(x)=x2-2x-8 and g(x)=1/4x-1 for which value of x is f(x)=g(x)
fomenos

f(x)=x^2-2x-8;\ g(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x-1\\\\f(x)=g(x)\iff x^2-2x-8=\dfrac{1}{4}x-1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4x^2-8x-32=x-4\qquad\text{subtract x from both sides}\\\\4x^2-9x-32=-4\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\4x^2-9x-28=0\\\\4x^2-16x+7x-28=0\\\\4x(x-4)+7(x-4)=0\\\\(x-4)(4x+7)=0\iff x-4=0\ \vee\ 4x+7=0\\\\x=4\ \vee\ 4x=-7\\\\\boxed{x=4\ \vee\ x=-\dfrac{7}{4}}

14: $80 - $22> (greater than or equal to) 17X where x equals the amount of shirts.

first off sorry it took so long to answer, these long word questions are time consuming and i havent done them in a while so i had to refresh my memory, secondly the equations all end where i say the word "where", thirdly i am absolutely sure of all these answers except for the first one, the first one i am pretty sure i still got it but not 100%.

hope this helps.

Find if all the ratios are proportional to 1:8. 2:16 is, so is 3:24, and 4:32. 4.5*8=36, and 5:40 is proportional. 6:48 is, and 6.5*8=52. The table is proportional, just divide the pay by the hours and you should be getting 8.
