The answer is 14 - x.

If she is 14 now, and the question is looking for her age x years ago, it is basically just asking you to subtract x from 14.

It also can't be x - 14, because that means Susie's age is x and the question is asking for her age 14 years ago, and it can't be 14x, because that's 14 multiplied by x.

The answer is 14-x because if she 14, to find out x years less than 14, you would have to subtract x from 14 and the equation for that would be 14-x. :)

Answer:

The answer is 1/3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

5/6x−7−(1/2x−6)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=5/6x−7+−1(1/2x−6)

=5/6x+−7+−1(1/2x)+(−1)(−6)

=5/6x+−7+−1/2x+6

Combine Like Terms:

=5/6x+−7+−1/2x+6

=(5/6x+−1/2x)+(−7+6)

=1/3x+−1

Answer:

=1/3x−1

Each figure shows a pair of similar triangles, one contained in the other.

Alecsey [184]

Dilation involves enlarging or reducing the size of a shape.

The scale factor of dilation is 1/6

From the complete question, the side lengths of corresponding sides of both triangles are:

$AC =18cm$

$AC' =3cm$

This means that, the larger triangle is ABC, while the smaller triangle is AB'C'.

So, the scale factor of dilation from the larger triangle to the smaller triangle is:

$k = \frac{AC'}{AC}$

This gives

$k = \frac{3cm}{18cm}$

Remove the common units

$k = \frac{3}{18}$

Reduce fraction

$k = \frac 16$

Hence, the scale factor of dilation is 1/6
