First, you put the triangles in a ratio
Then, you ask yourself "what do I have to divide seven by to get 5" so you do 7.5/5 to get that answer (which is to divided by 1.5)
Then, on the other side, you divide 22.5 by 1.5 as well
32
The absolute value takes the distance from zero, it doesn’t matter weather it is positive or negatively
Answer:
1st: 22, 2nd: 27, 3rd: 88
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation
If she recieved x calls the 1st evening, then the 2nd evening she recieved x+5, and the 3rd evening she recieved 4x.
x+x+5+4x=137
Combine like terms
6x+5=137
Subtract 5 from both sides
6x=132
Divide by 6 on both sides
x=22
First:
22 calls
Second:
x+5
22+5
27 calls
Third:
4x
4*22
88 calls
Hope this helps!
