X= - 7/2
Hope this helps! :)
Well, first of all, the first statement (ABC = ADC) looks like it just says
that the two halves of the little square ... each side of the diagonal ...
are congruent. That's no big deal, and it's no help in answering the
question.
The effect of the dilation is that all the DIMENSIONS of the square
are doubled ... each side of the square becomes twice as long.
Then, when you multiply (length x width) to get the area, you'd have
Area = (2 x original length) x (2 x original width)
and that's
the same as (2 x 2) x (original length x original width)
= (4) x (original area) .
Here's an easy, useful factoid to memorize:
-- Dilate a line (1 dimension) by 'x' times . . . multiply the length by x¹
-- Dilate a shape (2 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply area by x²
-- Dilate a solid (3 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply volume by x³
And that's all the dimensions we have in our world.
_______________________________
Oh, BTW . . .
-- Dilate a point (0 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply it by x⁰ (1)
4z ≥ 7
divide seven by four
z ≥ 1.75
or, if you need it in fraction form, it would be
z ≥ 7/4
Correct Question:
John works as a tutor for $12 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 86 hours at his two jobs.
Let be the number of hours John worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he earned this month.
Answer:
Total hours = 86
Let t is the hours he spent on tutoring
then (86-t) is hours spent on waiting
Let Y is the total amount in dollars which is required .
Now;
y = (tutoring hours x 12$) + (waiting hours x 8$)
Y = 12t + 8(86-t)
