Linear positive association
Given:
DE = (6x - 9) cm
EF = (4x + 4) cm
LM = 14 cm
MN = 16 cm
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
<em>If three or more parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they cut off the transversals proportionally.</em>


Do cross multiplication.


Add 144 on both sides.


Subtract 56x from both sides.


Divide by 40 on both sides, we get

The value of x is 5.
1.6 miles - 1.1 miles = 0.5 miles
8 minutes - 2 minutes = 6 minutes
She traveled 0.5 miles in 6 minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
60 minutes / 6 minutes = 10
0.5 x 10 = 5
She is walking 5 miles per hour.
To do this, you would need to use synthetic division.
-2 | 4 -3 10
-8 22
4 -11 32
Your reminder would be 32.
Sorry if my graph of synthetic division is a bit messy, you can only do so much on a phone!
