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

How do you connect the ideas of congruency and rigid motion and how do you prove congruency?
larisa86 [58]

If you cut a triangle out of a piece of paper, and move that triangle around (sliding, rotating, reflecting) then that triangle will retain its original shape and size. The three movement types mentioned are rigid motions. They do not change the size or shape of the triangle. If two triangles are congruent, then a sequence of one or more rigid motions can be applied to have them line up together.

Guy wants to swim 500 meters. After 75 meters, he takes a break. What percent of his goal has he already met?
iren2701 [21]
To determine this, we need to set up proportions.
x/100 = 75/500.
A quick way to find x, the percentage we're looking for, is to cross multiply our fractions.
100 x 75 and 500 with x.
75 x100 = 7500, and 500 times x is 500x.
7500=500x
Divide by 500 on each side.
15 = x
Your answer is C.)15%.
I hope this helps!
