Hey! Can I have a simple explanation and a value for x?

Hello from MrBillDoesMath

Answer:

    x   = 6


Discussion:

We are told the triangles are similar so corresponding parts have equal ratios . In our case this becomes

(5x-2)/7x = (3x+2)/5x

and we need to solve for "x". Multiply both sides by x

(5x-2)/7x*x  = (3x+2)/5x*x =>

(5x -2)/7 = (3x+2)/5                    ( as x/x = 1)

Multiply both sides by 35 ( = 7 * 5)

(5x-2)/ 7  * (7*5) =  (3x +2 )/ 5 * (7*5)  =>

(5x-2) * 5 = (3x +2) * 7 =>

25x -10 = 21x + 14        =>          (subtract 21x from both sides)

(25x - 21x) - 10 =  14 =>              (simplify)

4x - 10  = 14  =>                           (add 10 to both sides)

4x = 14 + 10  =>                  

4x = 24  =>

x = 6



Thank you,

Mr. B

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral Q R S T has points (0, 2), (negative 4, 0), (0, negative 3), and (4, 0).
Afina-wow [57]

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

<h3>How to apply rigid transformations on a point</h3>

Herein we must apply a rigid transformation into a given point to determine an image. <em>Rigid</em> transformations are transformations applied on a <em>geometric</em> locus such that <em>Euclidean</em> distance is conserved. Dilations are a kind of <em>rigid</em> transformations such that:

(x, y) → (k · x, k · y), for k > 0

If we know that Q(x, y) = (0, 2) and k = 0.5, then the coordinates of Q' are:

Q'(x, y) = (0.5 · 0, 0.5 · 2)

Q'(x, y) = (0, 1)

By applying the definitions of <em>rigid</em> transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

1.Hannah walked the same number of miles each day for 5 days. Let m represent the total number of miles Hannah walked. Write a l
mamaluj [8]

1) Given m represent the total number of miles Hannah walked.

Let us assume Hannah walked x miles each day.

So total number of miles Hannah walked in 5 days is m=5x.

2)Given Jimmy brought 2 books per day and Peter brought 4 books per day.

If d is the number of days the book drive, total number of books they brought

        =total number books brought by Jimmy+ total number of books brought by Peter                                                                          

        = 2d+4d = 6d

3) Given that c represent cost of the clothes.

Then 30% discount = 0.3c

Hence cost of the clothes = c-0.3c = 0.7c

4) Given c represent the cost of their meal before tipping.

And tip is 15% of the cost.

Hence tip = 0.15c

Hence total bill = c+0.15c=1.15c

5) Given that Tommy had 40$ in his pocket.

And pair of pants cost 37$ with 10% sales tax.

Hence cost of pants including sales tax = 37+37*0.1 = 40.1$ >40$

Hence Tommy cannot afford the pants with 40$ in his pocket.

For following problems, we should group the like terms together and then simplify.

6) (x+8)+(3x-12) = (x+3x)+8-12 = 4x-4

7) 5x+7-(3x-4) = 5x+7-3x+4 = (5x-3x)+7+4 = 2x+11

8) (x-2)-(-4x+1)=x-2+4x-1 = (x+4x)-2-1 = 5x-3
