For this case by similarity of triangles we can use the following relationship:
(x) / (9) = (5) / (15)
We clear the value of x:
x = ((5) / (15)) * (9)
Rewriting:
x = (1/3) * (9)
x = 3
Answer:
The value of x for this case is:
x = 3
1 jar of paint = 1 pint of paint
This means that Beth has 32 pints of paint.
32 jars of paint = 16 quarts of paint = 4 gallons of paint.
This means that Beth has (or possibly used) 4 gallons of paint.
Answer:
A. (-7 -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can eliminate y by multiplying the first equation by 7 and subtracting 6 times the second equation:
7(-3x +6y) -6(5x +7y) = 7(9) -6(-49)
-21x +42y -30x -42y = 63 +294 . . . . eliminate parentheses
-51x = 357 . . . . . . . . collect terms
x = -7 . . . . . . . divide by -51. This matches answer choice A.
