Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the original dimension of pentagon be x

So, we have ratio as follow:

\frac{3}{12}=\frac{x}{8}\\\\3\times 8=12\times x\\\\24=12\times x\\\\x=\frac{24}{12}=2

so, Paolo was asked to find the original of an enlarge pentagon.

And she did,

8x=36\\\\x=4.5

so, she made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion.

That's why she got wrong answer.

Hence, Second option is correct.

The correct answer is the second choice.

Paolo made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion. He should have multiplied the 3 and the 8 and also the 12 and the x.

The second line should be:

12x = 24

A company makes t-shirts and their research shows that that price and demand are related linearly: p = mx + b. They know that in
loris [4]

Answer:

P= -2x +46

Step-by-step explanation:

the relation between price and demand is

P= mx +b ........................1

when demand is 10 shirts price is $26

when demand is 20 shirts price is $6

firstly put P= 26 and x= 10 in 1

26= 10m + b.......................2

secondly put x= 20 and P= 6 in 1

6= 20m + b ............................3

solving  2 and 3 we get

m = -2

putting this value of m in either of 2 and 3 to get b

b= 46

so the final relation obtained by putting m= -2 and b= 46 in 1 we get

P= -2x +46

schepotkina [342]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-3x +5x -15=33

x²-3x+5x=33+15

x²-3x+5x=48

x²+2x=48

divide both sides by 2

x²+x =24

x²= 24

x= ✓24
