Answer with step-by-step explanation:
The way the question is worded, this actually shouldn't be correct. The correct answer should be 
.
Because the trapezoids are similar, we can find the ratio of their perimeters by actually just finding the ratio of their sides.
Why?
By definition, the corresponding sides of a polygon are in a constant proportion. The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the polygon. Since we're just adding the sides, the proportion will still be maintained.
Therefore, we'll just need to ratio of their corresponding sides. The only two corresponding sides that are marked are 
and 
.
The ratio of 
is 
.
The reason why it ideally should be and not 
is because the question states 
, which mentions 
first, so our answer should follow this respective order. I believe you were marked right anyways because the specific order is not specified, but generally, you want to give your answer respectively by default.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the system:
If we isolate the x-variable in the first equation:
Subtract 2y from both sides:
Divide both sides by -1:
Therefore, we would substitute the above into the second equation:
The answer is 2y+6
Further notes:
To solve for the system, distribute:
Simplify:
Subtract:
Divide:
Now, substitute this value back into the isolated equation:
16 is the answer to this question.
It would be 384.58, or 384.57909
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent lemonade and y represent orange juice
the total earning is $240. 2x+3y=240 allows you to find the number of each cup you need to sell to get $240.
the total number of cups sold is 100. x+y=100 gives you the other equation necessary to find the number of cups of each sold if you told a total of 100
