Answer:
x=-16
Step-by-step explanation:
4x– 15 = 17 - 4x+10x
4x+4x-10x = 17+15
-2x=32
-x=16
x=-16
Answer:
The width of the window should be
and the height of the window should be 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The circumference of a semicircle (window) is equal to

we have that


substitute and solve for r


so
the width of the window is equal to the diameter of the semicircle
so
The width of the window should be
and the height of the window should be 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the square is 3 units by 3 units. because the area of a square is side length squared.
side length = 3
side length^2 = 3 * 3 = 9
The area of a circle is much harder to reason out. You could start with the area of a square and use the diameter is 3 units. But the corners are rounded and you don't know off hand what the area of one of them is, let alone all 4. You are given a formula for circles area, but you have no real idea what the formula actually means. Does it take the corner area into account? At the beginning levels, we don't know.
We are told that circle C has center (-4, 6) and a radius of 2.
We are told that circle D has center (6, -2) and a radius of 4.
If we move circle C's center ten units to the right and eight units down, the new center would be at (-4 + 10), (6 - 8) = (6, -2). So step 1 in the informal proof checks out - the centers are the same (which is the definition of concentric) and the shifts are right.
Let's look at our circles. Circle C has a radius of 2 and is inside circle D, whose radius is 4. Between Circle C and Circle D, the radii have a 1:2 ratio, as seen below:

If we dilate circle C by a factor of 2, it means we are expanding it and doubling it. Our circle has that 1:2 ratio, and doubling both sides gives us 2:4. The second step checks out.
Translated objects (or those that you shift) can be congruent, and dilated objects are used with similarity (where you stretch and squeeze). The third step checks out.
Thus, the argument is correct and the last choice is best.
