Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if the triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion ( or you can think that they make equivalent fractions like 2/3 = 4/6 )
44/ (x+2) = 20/7 = 3x+1 /5 ( all of those are equivalent fractions)
use that 
is the same as a*d = b*c
is the same as 20(x+2) = 7*44
20x +40 = 308; subtract 40 from both sides
20x = 268; divide by 20 both sides
x= 13.4
x<2
Step-by-step explanation:
-1>-2(x-4)-5(4x-7)
-1>-2x+8-20x+35
-1>-22x+43
when a negative number crosses to a side, the sign changes
22x<1+43
22x<44
22x/22<44/22
x<2
Answer:
Dependent
Step-by-step explanation:
Because there is only one function to the equation.
<span>Open and closed circles are used to mark the end points of intervals.
If the circle is open, it means the end point is NOT included in the interval,
but if the circle is closed, it means the end point is included.
Consider the interval . In this interval, the low endpoint, the 3,
is not included because you have a 'less than' sign. The high endpoint, the 6,
is included because you have a 'less than or equal' sign. It is the presence
or absence of the 'or equal' part that determines whether the circle is closed
or open.
The interval would be marked on the number line with an open
circle at 3, a closed circle at 6, and a heavy line connecting the two.
