Two geometrical objects are called similar if they both have the same shape, or one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection. This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to coincide precisely with the other object. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a particular uniform scaling of the other. A modern and novel perspective of similarity is to consider geometrical objects similar if one appears congruent to the other when zoomed in or out at some level.

Solve the system 2x+4y=16 5x +3y=19 then find the value of y/x
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

I would change 2x+4y=24 into x=12–2y

To do that, divide both sides by 2 and then subtract 2y on each side.

After that, substitute for x. 3x+2y=19 would become 3(12–2y)+2y=19.

Then solve.

3(12–2y)+2y=19

36–6y+2y=19

-4y+36=19

-4y=-17

y=4.25

Then, substitute y in either equation.

Either this:

3x+2y=19

3x+2(4.25)=19

3x+8.5=19

3x=10.5

x=3.5

Or:

2x+4y=24

2x+4(4.25)=24

2x+17=24

2x=7

x=3.5

Or you could solve it in the equation you created in the beginning:

x=12–2y

x=12–2(4.25)

x=12–8.5

x=3.5

The coordinates where the lines intercept are (3.5, 4.25).

Sorry for the long answer!

2x-1<br> Evaluate the algebraic expressions for the given values of the variable
igor_vitrenko [27]
<span>An algebraic expression is an expression constructed from a number of constants and variables utilizing algebraic operations. These algebraic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. A constant is constant, so its value is unchanged. A variable changes based on the value provided. In the provided example, 2x-1, there are two constants, "2" and "1", and one variable "x." The algebraic operations utilized are multiplication and subtraction. In order to evaluate the value of the algebraic expression, the given value for the variable must be substituted for the variable x, and then the algebraic operations executed to obtain the answer. For instance, if you were told that the value of x in this case was 2, then you would substitute the value 2 for x and perform the described operations. Remember to follow the order of operations when evaluating an algebraic expression! 2x-1 for x=2 2(2) - 1 4 - 1 3 is the answer. Remember, even though the multiplication operation is not explicitly stated, it is implied that a constant attached to a variable (termed a coefficient) is multiplied with the value of the variable.</span>
