Triangles ABC and ADE are similar triangles. That means the sides are all scaled by the same factor.

To go from side BC to side DE, you multiply by 1.25. That means 1.25 is your scale factor. Now apply that factor to the bottom side to get your answer.

Side AB is 6. That means side AD is 6 x 1.25 = 7.5. That means x = 7.5 - 6 = 1.5

Let g be the number of grandchildren, and d be the number of dogs. They both have only one head, so the number of heads is

$g+d=33$

Grandchildren have 2 legs, while dogs have 4. So, the total number of legs is

$2g+4d=84$

From the first equation (the one for the heads) we can derive

$g=33-d$

Substitute this into the second to get

$2g+4d=84 \implies 2(33-d)+4d=84 \iff 2d=18 \iff d=9$

So, there are 9 dogs and (from the first equation

$g=33-9=24$

Maricella solves for x in the equation 4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1. She begins by adding –4 + 4 on the left side of the equation an

Elodia [21]

Maricella’s strategy is incorrect as the values added on the left and right side of the equation changes the original equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ to $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3$ .

Further explanation:

Maricella begin by adding $-4+4$ on the left side of the equation and $1+1$ on the right side of the equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ .

The value added on the left is equal to zero so it does not change the equation but the value added on the right is 2, a non-zero digit so it changes the equation as shown below.

$4x-2(3x-4)+4-4+4=-x+3(x+1)+1+1+1\\4x-2(3x-4)+4+0=-x+3(x+1)+1+2\\4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+3$

Therefore, the strategy used by Maricella will change the equation and so the solution of the equation will be incorrect.

One way of solving such a linear equation is by adding or subtracting the required value on each side of the equation. and then simplifying the further equation.

Similarly, the other way to solve any linear equation is by separating the variable terms on one side of the equation and constant terms on the other side of the equation.

After this simplify the linear equation to obtain the solution of the equation for $x$ .

Whereas Maricella’s strategy fails to solve the equation $4x-2(3x-4)+4=-x+3(x+1)+1$ since the values added and subtracted in the equation changes the original equation completely.

Solve open parentheses square root of 7 close parentheses to the 6 x power = 49x−6.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

(sqrt7)^6x = 49x - 6

There is no easy way to solve this . Drawing a graph will give a good approximation.

Draw y = (sqrt7)66x

and y = 49x - 6 and see where they intersect

Ill draw it on desmos graphing tool and give you the link.
