A common characteristic for the shapes given is that they all consist of sides. Therefore, the most applicable sorting rule is the number of sides. In this regard, there will be two categories of the shapes given.
That is, number of sorting rule in which:
Category 1: 1 square and 1 rectangle all with four sides.
Category 2: 1 triangle with three sides.
Answer:
GIME SOME POINTS
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
First number is -2.5
Second number 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.
To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2
Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.
To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10
4x - 3y = 2
2x + 3y =10
4x - 2x = 2x
2x = -5
x= -2.5
The first number is -2.5
By using Substitution
2x + 3y = 10
2(-2.5) + 3y = 10
-5 + 3y = 10
3y = 10 +5
3y =15
y = 5
The second number is 5
....To check my answer
-5 + 15 = 10
Answer: 8(x + (-5)) = 2x
Step-by-step explanation: Lets have that "certain" number be x. We wrote an equation to represent the problem.
