Answer:

4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let the number of months it takes for their heights to equal be x and let h(x) be the height after x months.

#For plant 1, we equate height after x months as:

h(x)=6+3x

#For plant 2, we equate height after x months and at a constant rate m:

h(x)=2+mx

#we equate and solve for rate of growth, m in plant 2 as below:

h(x)=2+mx\\\\but\  h(12)=50\\\\\therefore r=\frac{50-2}{12}\\\\r=4 \ inches/month

#We then equate the two heights after x months to solve for x:

h(x)_1=h(x)_2\\\\6+3x=2+4x\\\\6-2=4x-3x\\\\x=4

Hence, the plants have the same height after 4 months

The smaller triangle is the image of the larger triangle after a dilation. The center of the dilation is (4,2).
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the ratio of the corresponding sides to get the scale factor so for this equation let's use the hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is 12 units and the smaller triangle's hypotenuse is 4 so 4/12 is the scale factor.

However 4/12  can be simplified down to 1/3.

Since the smaller triangle has been flipped upside down the scale factor is negative so the final answer is -1/3

devi and her brother had the same amount of money. after devi spent 2/5 of her money and her brother spent 3/10 of his money, th
krok68 [10]
To answer this question you have to create a system of equations. The first equation will be that Devi's money (x) equals her brother's money (y), or x = y. The next equation would be that (3/5)x + (7/10)y = 78. You than can substitute x in for y because x = y. The equation would know be (3/5)x + (7/10)x = 78. You then combine the like terms to create an equation of (13/10)x = 78. Then, multiply both sides by 10 / 13 in order to isolate x. This will create the equation x = 60. This means that Devi and her brother each had 60 dollars. You then find out how much they spent and add it together. You can do so with the equation (2/5)x + (3/10)y = z, with z being total money spent. You substitute 60 in for x and for y then solve. When you solve you see that 24 + 18 = z, or that z equals 42. In other words, they spent 42 dollars altogether.
