Lan is 146 centimeters tall now.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Let, Lan's current height is h centimeters

As Lisa is 6 centimeters taller than Lan and Lan is 10 centimeters taller than Jim, so Lisa's current height = (h+6) centimeters and Jim's current height = (h-10) centimeters.

Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters.

So, after 5 months.....

Lan's height = h+(2*5)=(h+10) centimeters,

Lisa's height = (h+6)+(2*5)= (h+16) centimeters and

Jim's height = (h-10)+(2*5)= h centimeters

Given that, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height in 5 months. So the equation will be....

(h+10)+h= (h+16)+140\\ \\ 2h+10=h+156\\ \\ 2h-h=156-10\\ \\ h=146

So, the current height of Lan is 146 centimeters.

Alla [95]
Using the formula y=mx+b, you can simplify the equation to y=-4.5x+28 which means that the slope (m) equals -4.5 and the y-intercept (b) equals 28.

Pls help explain if u can
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A dilation (similarity transformation) is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. It requires a center point and a scale factor , k . The value of k determines whether the dilation is an enlargement or a reduction.

In simple words, it's stretching, when you dilate with scale factor of x, means you multiply the previous value with x, say co-ordinates area -2,4, so you do (-2x,4x) to find the co-ordinates after dialation,

Here the scale factor is 3, so the new co-ordinates are,

(-2×3, 4×3) which is A' (-6, 12)

similarly,

B' (12, -3)

C' (-3, -6)
