Answer: Kara should have written the proportion in step 1 as;
Start Fraction 12 Over 72 End Fraction = Start Fraction 14 Over x End Fraction (that is 12/72 = 14/x)
Step-by-step explanation: The two similar triangles are given with the following dimensions;
Triangle VXW with side VW = 12 and side VX = 14. Also Triangle ZXY with side YZ = 72 and side XZ = x.
For two triangles to be similar, then there must be a similarity ration that is consistent with all sides in both triangles. This means if in the first triangle a side measures 1 unit and the similar side in the other triangle measures 5 units, then the ratio of similarity of corresponding sides shall be ratio 1 : 5. So for every corresponding side in the second triangle the measurement shall be times five of the side that corresponds in the first triangle.
Therefore, in triangle VXW and triangle ZXY, the corresponding sides are as follows;
VX = ZX
VW = ZY
XW = XY
What Kara did was as follows;
VX/ZY = VW/ZX
Which translates to 14/72 = 12/x
This was a wrong calculation because the side that corresponds to VX is ZX and not ZY.
The correct step should therefore have been;
VW/ZY = VX/ZX
12/72 = 14/x (Step 1)
12x = (72) (14) {Step 2}
x = 1008/12 (Step 3)
x = 84 (Step 4)
Plan 1 is the best choice because plan 2 would be an extra $120.00 more for the year.
No because Pam is reading 42 pages every hour so in 5 hours she would have only read 210 pages. Zack is reading 45 pages in an hour so he would finish just under 5 hours.

Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the equations with the same number of equations and variables as shown below,
<u>Case 1</u>
This equation has no solution because it is not possible to have two numbers that give a sum of 0 and 1 simultaneously.
<u>Case 2</u>
This equation has infinitely many possible solutions.
Therefore it is FALSE to say a linear system with the same number of equations and variables, must have a unique solution.
I=prt.....
i=5000*10*0.03=1500
5000+1500=6500
