Solve this proportion c-1/c+2=4/7

Mathematics

Stella [2.4K]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Define

$\frac{c-1}{c+2} =\frac{4}{7}$

Step 2: Solve for c

Cross multiply: $7(c-1)=4(c+2)$
Distribute: $7c-7=4c+8$
Subtract 4c on both sides: $3c-7=8$
Add 7 to both sides: $3c=15$
Divide both sides by 3: $c=5$

Step 3: Check

Plug in c to verify it's a solution.

$\frac{5-1}{5+2} =\frac{4}{7}$

$\frac{4}{7} =\frac{4}{7}$

Akayo claims that there are centers of dialstiond through ehich a dialation of line n by a factor of 1.5 leaves line n unchanged

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires further details. In absence of the details, I will answer on a general term.

When a line is dilated (whether expanded or compressed), the new line will be on the same line with the dilated line; however, the length of both lines will be different

Take for instance:

Line AB of coordinate (1,3) is horizontally dilated by 2,

Horizontal dilation rule is: y = f(cx) where c is the dilation factor

So, the new point will be

A'B' = (1, 3 * 2)

A'B' = (1,6)

When you compare the x coordinate of both line, you will observe that they have the same x coordinate of 1.

This implies that they are on the same level but different length

The same is applicable to vertical dilation

the new point will be:

Kelli is running a mile in gym class. She runs at a pace of 6 minutes per mile. Represent this situation with an equation. Defin

STALIN [3.7K]

answer : t= 6d

Kelli is running a mile in gym. She runs at a pace of 6 minutes per mile.

We change the speed to miles per minute

6 minutes per mile = 1/6 miles per minute

d is the distance that Kelli has run and t is the number of minutes passed.

Speed is 1/6 mile per minute

We know the formula distance = speed * time

distance is d, speed is 1/6 and time is t

So the equation becomes

$d= \frac{1}{6}t$

Multiply by 6 on both sides

6d = t

t= 6d
