we use equation 1 first.
-2x -y = -9

-y = -9 + 2x

y = 9 -2x

We substitute value of y in equation 2

5x - 2 (9 - 2x) = -9

5x -18 - 4x = -9

5x - 4x = -9 + 18

x = 18 -9

x = 9

We now find the value of y

-2x -y = -9

-2 (9) - y = -9

-18 - y = -9

-y = -9 + 18

y = 9 - 18

y = -9

If ΔOPQ is dilated from point Q by a scale factor of 3, which of the following equations is true about segment R prime S prime?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

$\overline {R'S'} = 3 {\overline {RS} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of dilation of triangle ΔOPQ, S.F. = 3

The center of dilation = Point <em>Q</em>

Therefore;

The length of the segment, ${\overline {S'Q'} }$ = 3 × The length of the segment, ${\overline {SQ} }$

Similarly;

The length of the segment, ${\overline {R'Q'} }$ = 3 × The length of the segment, ${\overline {RQ} }$

By Pythagoras theorem, we have;

${\overline {R'Q'} }^2 = {\overline {R'S'} }^2 + {\overline {S'Q'} }^2$

Therefore;

${\overline {R'S'} }^2 = {\overline {R'Q'} }^2 - {\overline {S'Q'} }^2 = \left ({3 \times \overline {RQ} } \right) ^2 - \left (3 \times {\overline {SQ} } \right) ^2 = 9 \times \left (\overline {RQ} } ^2 - {\overline {SQ} } ^2 \right) = 9 \times {\overline {RS} }^2$

$\therefore \sqrt{ {\overline {R'S'} }^2} = \sqrt{ 9 \times {\overline {RS} }^2}= 3 \times {\overline {RS} }$

$\overline {R'S'} = 3 \times {\overline {RS} }$ .

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the

Margarita [4]

So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
