Hi,
The answer is 10
How I got my answer:
2(x-3)=14
=2x-6=14
=2x=14+6
=2x=20
=x=20/2
=x=10
Hope this helps you.

1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

tester [92]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

<u><em>A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

<u><em>B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?</em></u>

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

The table shows a proportional relationship between the number of stars Roberto collects in a game and his total points. A row o

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1) 20 stars; 30 points.

2) 28 stars, 42 points.

3) 38 stars, 57 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing table is attached.</h3>

Let be "x" the numbers of stars Roberto collects and "y" his total points.

The proportional relationship has this form:

$y=kx$

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality.

We can choose the point $(8,12$ ) from the table, where:

$x=8\\y=12$

Substituting these values into $y=kx$ and solving for "k", we get:

$12=k(8)\\\\\frac{12}{8}=k\\\\k=1.5$

Knowing the value of "k", we determine that the following Numbers of stars and the Total points could be used as the missing values in the table:

1) For $x=20$ :

$y=(1.5)(20)=30$

2) For $x=28$ :

$y=(1.5)(28)=42$

3) For $x=38$ :

$y=(1.5)(38)=57$

URGENT PLS HELP MAX POINTS

bija089 [108]

Answer:

-103

243

Step-by-step explanation:

(q•r)(5) = q(r(5))

r(5) = 2(5²) + 1 = 51

q(51) = -2(51) - 1 = -103

(r•q)(5) = r(q(5))

q(5) = -2(5) - 1 = -11

r(-11) = 2(-11)² + 1 = 243

Help with part A and part B

Vitek1552 [10]

A. You can use y=mx+b to find the rate of change of a bushel corn in the current year. The rate of change would be y=8x.

B. One bushel is worth 8$ (24/3 = 8) in the current year, and in the previous year one bushel was worth 7$ (21/3= 7). Therefore there was a 1$ raise from the previous year to the current year.
