Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 10 and a number is 3 less than the number.
Ok, lets call this number x.
10x = x-3 is how to algebraically write this out.
now, lets subtract x from both sides
9x = -3
Divide by 9
x = -1/3
Answer:
Chocolate Chips cost $2.25 and Walnuts cost $3.25 per pound each
Step-by-step explanatChocion:
Let x = cost of pounds of chocolate chip cookies and y = cost of pounds of walnuts.
From the question, we get 5x+3y = 21 and 2x+6y = 24. To solve the equation, we use substitution. From the first equation, we get y = (21-5x)/3. We substitute the y into the second equation to get 2x + 6(21-5x)/3 = 24. This turns out to be 2x+(42-10x) = 24. Adding like terms you should get 42-8x = 24. Solving for x, x = $2.25 per pound. Plugging this into the first equation, we get 5(2.25)+3y = 21. Solving for y, we get $3.25 per pound of walnuts. If we plug in the numbers into the 2 equations, we will get the right total.
Answer:
Scale factor, K = -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Dilation of any image changes its size and the shape remains same.
The scale factor is the ratio of dilated image to original image.
Dilation rule: (x, y) → (kx, ky), where k is the scale factor.
It means k = x₂/x₁ or y₂/y₁
K = -5/20 = -1/4 or K = -4/16 = -1/4.
<u>The negative value of scale factor (K) indicates dilations with 180 degree rotation of the dilated image.</u>
Hence the scale factor is K = -1/4.
Answer:
9/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Not hard. Multiply top and bottom by the other number. 3*3 = 9, and 4*5 = 20. so 9/20
