You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft

Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4

Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.

3c+15c/4+c=6

Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.

Help what are the answers im so stuck!
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage change is computed as follows:

  percent change = ((new value) -(original value))/(original value) × 100%

For your first one, this looks like ...

  percent change = ($25 -$75)/$75 × 100% = (-50/75) × 100% = -0.667×100%

  percent change = -66.7%

__

When there are a lot of similar calculations to do, I like to use a spreadsheet. See below for the other percentage changes (rightmost column).

X - y= -4 -2x +3y =6
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em><u>x=-6, y=-2</u></em>, (As a point) (-6, -2).....The point form is not necessary unless you want to solve the system (of equations) by graphing.

Step-by-step explanation:

By substitution:

x-y=-4    By adding y on both sides,

x=y-4

Now you can substitute x for the expression (y-4)

Plug the (y-4) as x in the other equation.

So -2x+3y=6 becomes

-2(y-4)+3y=6

Now solve:

-2(y-4)+3y=6 distributes out to be

-2y+8+3y=6     Now combining like terms

y+8=6              Subtract 8 on both sides to isolate the variable

<u><em>y=-2</em></u>

Now plug the value -2 in where the y is in any equation (preferably the easier/less complicated one) and solve for x.

So x-y=-4 becomes

x-(-2)=-4

=x+2=-4

=<u><em>x=-6</em></u>

&gt;: If the scale factor is a 1. What happens to the shape? How can you prove this?

The shape would be exactly the same because any number multiplied by 1 equals itself.
