The initial step that must be taken before solving almost any problem is to understand what the problem is asking for us to do and what is provided to us to complete that goal. Looking at the problem statement, we can see that we are being requested to solve for h and we are provided an expression to do so. Let's begin solving the expression by combining like terms.
<u>Combine like terms</u>
Just a quick explanation on what combine like terms means, it basically just means to combine the coefficients of the numbers associated with the same variables. Like in this example we can combine h and -3h because they have have the variable h associated with them.
<u>Add 8 to both sides</u>
<u>Divide both sides by -2</u>
<u>Simplify the expression</u>
Therefore, after completing the steps above we were able to determine that the value of h is equal to -11.
Answer:
17. Scale Factor is 3:1
18. Scale Factor is 1:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale Factor: In two similar shapes, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called scale factor.
17. Give the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
So, if we divide all sides of figure A by 3 we get Figure B
So, Figure A : Figure B
3:1
18. Give the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A
Figure B has sides:
Hypotenuse = 5
Perpendicular = 4
Base = 3
Figure A has sides:
Hypotenuse = 15
Perpendicular = 12
Base = 9
If we multiply 3 with the sides of Figure B we can get the sides of Figure A.
So scale factor is 3.
So, Figure B : Figure A
1:3
Answer:
The median for the set of data is
11
Is there a picture of the data set? I cannot give you an exact answer without the actual data values, but I can explain how to solve it.
The mean absolute deviation basically tells the average of how much each data value deviates from the mean of the entire data set. Therefore you just find the difference between each value in the data set and 57. Then you take all the differences and find the average by adding them all up and dividing by the number of values.
