Question 1.). Solve:
2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x)
Simplify both sides of equation:
2( x - 1 / 2 ) = 3(5 - 2x )
(2) (x) + (2) ( -1 / 2 ) = (3) (5) + (3) ( -2x )
Distribute:
2x + - 1 = 15 + -6x
2x - 1 = -6x + 15
Add 6x to both sides:
2x - 1 + 6x = -6x + 15 + 6x
8x - 1 = 15
Add 1 to both sides:
8x - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1
8x = 16
Divide both sides by 8:
8x / 8 = 16 / 8
Answer: 2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x) ==========> x = 2
Question 2.).
M =======> Amount Malik need
Solution: =========> m ≥ 5
Inequality ========> 8 + 7 + 10 + m ≥ 30
25 + m ≥ 30
Interpretation ==========> Malik needs at least, $5 .00 to get to, $30.00 or more.
Is the solution reasonable ===========> YES
Hope that helps!!!!! : )
1) The scale factor is 0.25 is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The first figure is dilated to form the second figure. The shape is a rhombus.
It is given that the side length of the first figure is 5.8 and the side length of the second figure is 1.45.
Step 2:
To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling. In this case, it is the side length of the rhombus.
The scale factor 
So the scale factor is 0.25. This is the first option.
To know how far your values differ apart from the mean of the records
Let 
be the number of hours worked at Job A and 
the number of hours at Job B. Then
and
From the first equation,
and substituting this into the second gives
Tiger shark:
2240 miles in 28 days = 80 miles/day
GW shark:
2368 miles in 32 days = 74 miles/day
80 miles/day x 32 days = 2560 miles the Tiger shark would have traveled
2560-2368 = 192
If the tiger shark had traveled at the same rate for 32 days, the tiger shark would have traveled 192 miles more than the great white shark
