All that's necessary is to add 4 to both sides of the equation. This gives
... y = 1/2(x -8) +4
If you like, you can simplify this by eliminating the parentheses and collecting terms.
... y = 1/2·x -4 +4
... y = (1/2)x
Answer:
Spiders=8
Ants=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Spider(s)=8 legs
Ants(a)=6 legs
Total legs=136
Total heads=20
8s+6a=136 (1)
s+a=20 (2)
From (2)
s=20-a
Substitute 20-a into (1)
8s+6a=136
8(20-a)+6a=136
160-8a+6a=136
160-2a=136
-2a=136-160
-2a=-24
a= -24/-2
a=12
Substitute a=12 into (2)
s+a=20
s+12=20
s=20-12
s=8

Let x represent the side length of the squares.
We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.
The side of box will be
and
.
The height of the box will be
.
The volume of box will be area of base times height.

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.


Now we will distribute x.


Therefore, the volume of the box would be
.
Answer:
The area is 6.25 times greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each side of the triangle of the dilated triangle will be 2.5 times the length of the original sides.
The area will increase to 2.5^2 = 6.25 times.
