It is negative six because down three is -3 so 3+3 =6 but the numbers are negative so the answer is -6
This can be solve by establishing equations.
let x be the miles mrs. storey drove
y be the miles mr storey drovee
the first equation is
y = 3x
second equation
x + y = 3200
then substitute equation 1
x + 3x = 3200
4x = 3200
x = 800 miles mrs storey drove
y = 3x = 2400 miles mr storey drove
As they are similar triangles, one is simply going to be bigger than the other, meaning that if triangle T’s side QS is = 9 and triangle W’s corresponding side ZX is =6.5. When dividing 9 by 6.5, it is obvious that triangle W is 0.72 smaller than triangle T. All you then have to do to calculate length of side XY is times side QR on triangle T -cause it’s the corresponding side of these two triangles- by 0.72, and you’ll have your answer of XY= 8.125 :)
For your first answer 2=x+5/17 your second answer is 29. This is because "x" is the number that you need to bake which is 29. Therefore, 31/17=2
37.1
Hope this helps a lot!!
