Answer:

The number is $14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the original number by z. The expression "Four less than nine times a number is one hundred twenty-two" can be rewritten in an equation.

Our number is z, then the left hand side of the equation is 9z-4.

The right side of the equation is 122. Then the complete equation is $9z-4=122$ . Add 4 in both sides to get $9z=122+4=126$ . Now, divide by 9 in both sides to get $z=\frac{126}{9}=14$

if pentagon abcd was reflected over the axis y-axis, reflected over the x-axis, and rotated 180, where would be point A' lie

frez [133]

A reflection over the x axis coupled with another reflection over the y axis leads to a rotation of 180 degrees.

In other words,

Start with point A. Reflect over the x axis to get point B. Reflect B over the y axis to get point C. To go from A to C, we can rotate A 180 degrees about the origin.

----------------

So this means that if we do those reflections and then do the rotation, then we end up back where we started. Wherever point A is located, the point A' will also be located at the same position with the same coordinates.

Please help i have been trying to figure this out for like an hour

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x varies directly as y, the ratio of x to y remains the same. Let the value of x when y=4 be a. Then we have

$\dfrac {7 \frac12} {10} = \dfrac a4$

We can cross multiply to get that

$10a = 30, \text{so } \boxed{a=3}$
