I'm going to assume you mean:
13 * (3/4) + x = 7 * (1/4)
Let's go ahead and simplify the right side.
7 * (1/4) = 1.75
So now we have:
13 * (3/4) + x = 1.75
Now let's take care of the right side. Multiplication before addition.
13 * (3/4) = 9.75
9.75 + x = 1.75
To isolate x, we subtract 9.75 from both sides.
9.75 - 9.75 + x = 1.75 - 9.75
x = -8
Hopefully I spaced this well. \('-')/
Breads/cereals;
11 * 140 = 1540 calories
Fruits/vegetables;
9 * 60 = 540 calories
Meat/milk;
x * 180 = 2800 - (1540 + 540)
180x = 2800 - 2080
180x = 720
x = 4 servings
Since the triangles are the same, just flipped that means that all angles and segments are the same as well
I'm not sure if that's the "correct" way to prove it but that's why they're equal
Hi there!
The perimeter is when you add all the sides of a shape. In a rectangle, two sides are the same, and so are the other two. So, if the two sides are 2x-3 and x+2 the expression will be:
2(2x-3) + 2(x+2)
If we were to simplify this, it would be
4x-6+2x+4
6x-2
Hope this helps!
