Hello there.

Question: <span>Mr. Nicolas is putting up strings of blue and white lights for the holidays. The ratio of blue to white lights is 5 to 6. If he has 77 strings, how many strings are white lights?

Answer: 5:6
Add the numbers:
5 + 6 = 11
Divide this number by the total:
77/11 = 7
Multiply values by this number:
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
To check:
35 + 42 = 77.
Therefore your answer is 42.

<h2>Answer</h2>

After the dilation $\frac{5}{3}$ around the center of dilation (2, -2), our triangle will have coordinates:

$R'=(2,3)$

$S'=(2,-2)$

$T'=(-3,-2)$

<h2>Explanation</h2>

First, we are going to translate the center of dilation to the origin. Since the center of dilation is (2, -2) we need to move two units to the left (-2) and two units up (2) to get to the origin. Therefore, our first partial rule will be:

$(x,y)$ → $(x-2, y+2)$

Next, we are going to perform our dilation, so we are going to multiply our resulting point by the dilation factor $\frac{5}{3}$ . Therefore our second partial rule will be:

$(x,y)$ → $\frac{5}{3} (x-2,y+2)$

$(x,y)$ → $(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{10}{3} ,\frac{5}{3} y+\frac{10}{3} )$

Now, the only thing left to create our actual rule is going back from the origin to the original center of dilation, so we need to move two units to the right (2) and two units down (-2)

$(x,y)$ → $(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{10}{3}+2,\frac{5}{3} y+\frac{10}{3}-2)$

$(x,y)$ → $(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}y+ \frac{4}{3})$

Now that we have our rule, we just need to apply it to each point of our triangle to perform the required dilation:

$R=(2,1)$

$R'=(\frac{5}{3} x-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}y+ \frac{4}{3})$

$R'=(\frac{5}{3} (2)-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}(1)+ \frac{4}{3})$

$R'=(\frac{10}{3} -\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}+ \frac{4}{3})$

$R'=(2,3)$

$S=(2,-2)$

$S'=(\frac{5}{3} (2)-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}(-2)+ \frac{4}{3})$

$S'=(\frac{10}{3} -\frac{4}{3} ,-\frac{10}{3}+ \frac{4}{3})$

$S'=(2,-2)$

$T=(-1,-2)$

$T'=(\frac{5}{3} (-1)-\frac{4}{3} ,\frac{5}{3}(-2)+ \frac{4}{3})$

$T'=(-\frac{5}{3} -\frac{4}{3} ,-\frac{10}{3}+ \frac{4}{3})$

$T'=(-3,-2)$

Now we can finally draw our triangle:

Dexter has 83 tiles left over from tiling his bathroom floor and he would like to use them to tile the front entrance of his hou

creativ13 [48]

Answer: [0, 396]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the acceptable values of x in the function. In this case, x = t, the number of tiles. If you think about it, the minimum number of tiles is 0 (you can't have a negative number of tiles), and the maximum number of tiles is 44 (you only have 44 tiles). So, the domain for this function is from 0 to 44.

0 to 44 written in interval notation is [0,44].

The range is the acceptable values of y in the function. In this case, y = A, the area given. A(t) = 9t, so you can use the acceptable values of t to get the range. Again, the minimum area is 0 because you can't have negative area. To find the maximum area, plug in the maximum number of tiles: 9.

A(t) = 9t

A = 9(44)

A = 396

With the maximum number of tiles, 44, the area you get is 396 cm². Therefore, the acceptable values of A are from 0 to 396.

0 to 396 written in interval notation is [0, 396].

A 3. On a recent shopping trip, you see a sale advertising 4 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of shoes for $90. Write an equation usin

Mamont248 [21]

The correct answer is D) 4x + 3y = 90.

x = pairs of socks
y = pairs of shoes
90 = total cost of the sum of socks and shoes

Combining these with the given quantities for each variable:

4x + 3y = 90
