Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-8.3+9.2-4.4+3.7 john has used his first step as -8.3+9.2+4.4+3.7.

He has use additive inverse as their is no information is given about the additive inverse -4.4 can not be converted +4.4 .this is his incorrect step.

So, the correct steps are

-8.3+9.2-4.4+3.7

= (-8.3-4.4)+(9.2+3.7)

= -12.7+12.9

= 0.2

Hence, there is need to change the step  !.

Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Additive inverse; you can't just take -4.4 and make it positive.

In rectangle ABCD, AB = 10 cm and BC = 14 cm. If rectangle EFGH is the image after a dilation, which could be its side lengths?
lana [24]

Answer is D

After dilation the image remain same but it is stretched or shrinked to the original size.

That means the ratio of the sides and the angles between the sides remain same .

Here we did dilation of ABCD which made it to EFGH.

Hence the ratio of the corresponding sides of the original rectangle ABCD should remain same even after dilation.

the corresponding sides are : AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

DA and HE

* Let us find ratio of the sides AB and BC

given that AB= 10 and BC= 14

AB/BC= 10/14 = 5 /7 ( 10 and 14 both are multiple of 2 so we reduced them by a factor of 2 )

* the raio of the corresponding sides EF and FG should be same ( 5/7)

in the option D EF= 25 and FG= 35

so EF/FG= 25/35 = 5 /7 ( both are multiple of 5 so we reduced them by the factor of 5 )

Since ratio of the corresponding sides are coming out to be same for the EFGH given in option D it should be the dilation of the ABCD

Solve for t in terms of the other variables. <br> k= 3tm + rs
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

              t=\dfrac{k-rs}{3m}

Step-by-step explanation:

It's like solving any equation, except we have letters instead of numbers .

k = 3tm + rs           {subtract rs from both sides}

k - rs = 3tm            {divide both sides by (3m)}

\dfrac{k-rs}{3m}=t              {swap sides}

t=\dfrac{k-rs}{3m}            m≠0    

{m must be ≠0 because  you cannot divide by 0. There is no t for m=0}
