Dilation by 2/3 means scaling. It would be 2/3 of 36 which is 24

Answer:

the side length of the new square is, 24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor(k) is defined as the ratio of the dilated image to the Pre-image.

⇒ $k = \frac{\text{Dilated image}}{\text{Pre-image}}$

As per the statement:

A square has a side length of 36 feet. this square is dilated by a scale factor of 2/3

⇒Side length of the Pre-image square = 36 feet and k = 2/3

By definition we have;

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{\text{New side length of the dilated image of square}}{36}$

Multiply both sides by 36 we have;

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot 36=\text{New side length of the dilated image of square}$

Simplify:

$\text{New side length of the dilated image of square} = 24$ feet

therefore, the side length of the new square is, 24 feet

After a party, Brendan had left over pizza. Brendan had one half of a cheese pizza, 3/4 of a sausage pizza, and 2/6 of a peppero

muminat

3/4+2/6+1/2 = 9/12+4/12+6/12 = 19/12 Brendan has 1 7/12 leftover pizzas. THis is achieved by multiplying for a common denominator and adding

19/12-2/3 = 19/12-8/12 = 11/12 Brendan has 11/12 more pizzas than Steve.

Alex got 27 questions out of 30 correct. what present of the questions did he get correct?(use fish method)

Novosadov [1.4K]

if we take 30 to be the 100%, what is 27 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 30 & 100\\ 27& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{30}{27}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{10}{9}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 10x=900\implies x=\cfrac{900}{10}\implies x=90$

Use the method of ELIMINATION to solve the system. You must SHOW ALL WORK. Make sure you have an answer for both x and y.

jekas [21]

Answer:

<h3>Required <u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

$\sf 4x+8y=10\dots\dots (1)$

$\sf -4x+2y=-30\dots\dots (2)$

by adding eq (1) and eq (2) we get

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 4x+8y=20$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x+2y=-30$

<h2>__________________________</h2>

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 10y=-10$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf y={\dfrac {-10}{10}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf y=-1}}}$

Substitute the value in eq (2)

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x+2 (-1)=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x-2=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x=-30+2$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x=-28$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x={\dfrac {-28}{-4}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=7}}}$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf (x,y)=(7,-1)}}}$
