Similar polygons only differ by a scaling factor. In other words, two polygons are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.
In particular, this implies that the angles are preserved, and the correspondent sides are in proportion.
These two polygons are both rectangles, so the angles are preserved. We must check the sides, and we have to check if the smaller sides are in the same proportion as the bigger sides.
So, the two rectangles are similar if the following is true.
In any proportion, the product of the inner terms must be the same as the product of the outer terms:
This is clearly false, and thus the two rectangles are not similar.
Well for the first one you have to subtract 3 on both sides so that would make the equation x > -8 (because a negative subtracting a positive is basically a negative plus negative) and so your equations done. For the second one you divide both ides by -4 so your equation would be x < 4 (the sign would be less then or qual to because you divided by a negative)
If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
<span>truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs</span>

Answer:
- 300 adult tickets
- 600 student tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
We can group tickets into a group that has 2 student tickets and 1 adult ticket for a price of 2($1.25) +2.25) = $4.75. The number of these groups sold is ...
$1425/4.75 = 300
300 adult tickets and 600 student tickets were sold.
No.
Since w = 8, you must replace the variable with the number associated to it.
So, it would be 5 + 8 = 58
5 + 8 is not equal to 58, it is equal to 13.
If you wanted to find out what w was, simply subtract 5 on both sides.
w = 58 - 5
