If we have 2 more blue pens than black pens, our blue pens can be rewritten as blue = 2 + black. Now we can set up an equation. Originally this equation would involve both blue and black, but since we only have 1 equation to set up, we can only have 1 unknown. That's why we base the number of blue pens on the number of black pens and do a substitution. So instead of blue + black = 94, we have (black + 2) + black = 94. That simplifies to 2 black + 2 = 94, and 2 black = 92. Now if we divide by 2, we get that the number of black pens is 46. If we have 2 more blue than black, the number of blue pens we have is 48. 46 + 48 = 94, so there you go!
<em>Question:</em>
<em>Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of PR is equal to the slope of RT?</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for complete question
From the attachment, we have that:
First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of PQR
Here, we consider P and R
Where
becomes
--------- (1)
Next, we calculate the slope (m) of RST
Here, we consider R and T
Where
becomes
---------- (2)
Next, we equate (1) and (2)
<em>From the list of given options (see attachment), option A answers the question</em>
<u>M</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>o</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u>
replace x and y by their value 1 and 3
3 = 4(1) - 1 = 4-1 = 3
2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5
correct
<u>M</u><u>e</u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>o</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u>
y = 4x - 1
2x + y = 5
y = 4x - 1
y = -2x + 5
y - y = 4x - 1 - ( -2x + 5 )
0 = 4x - 1 + 2x - 5
6x - 6 = 0
6x = 6
x = 6/6 = 1
y = 4x - 1
y = 4(1) - 1
y = 3
correct
Im not sure but it could be 1/14
Answer: Yes, It is 315, I'm 100% honest!
