Answer:

b x = 5/p

Step-by-step explanation:

px+12=17

Subtract 12 from each side

px+12-12=17-12

px = 5

Divide by p

px/p = 5/p

x = 5/p

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ x=\dfrac{5}{p}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$px+12=17\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\px+12-12=17-12\\\\px=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ p\neq0\\\\\dfrac{px}{p}=\dfrac{5}{p}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{p}$

<h3>Answer: 0.5</h3>

This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2

==============================================================

Explanation:

The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.

|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3

|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3

We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.

--------------------------

The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...

|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5

|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5

The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.

We can say A'B' = 1.5

---------------------------

Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k

k = (A'B')/(AB)

k = (1.5)/(3)

k = 0.5

0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.

The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.

How tall is the goal post if its shadow is 18ft. The height of the flagpole is 20 ft and its shadow is 8 ft.?

You can set up an inequality to solve this. You can either do big to small --> $\frac{x}{18} = \frac{20}{8}$ or small to big --> $\frac{x}{18} = \frac{8}{20}$ . I'm going to be using big to small because I think it's a little easier.
