If two shapes are 'similar', it means that the dimensions of the shapes have the same ratio towards each other. In this example, we can see that the side with a length of 2 correlates to the side with a length of 4. That means, the scaling ratio is 4:2, which can be reduced to 2:1.
The next step is to look at the other side. We know that the width of the smaller shape is 1, and that the second shape is twice the size of the smaller shape (which is what a scale of 2:1 means). Therefore, you just need to multiply the known width by two to get the unknown.
1 * 2 = 2
The missing side _d_ has a length of 2.
Hope that helped =)
There was 3000 general admission tickets sold and 500 kid ticket sold.
How did I get this?
First, we need to see what information we have.
$2.50 = General admission tickets = (G)
$0.50 = kids tickets = (K)
There were 6x as many general admission tickets sold as kids. G = 6K
We need two equations:
G = 6K
$2.50G + $.50K = $7750
Since, G = 6K we can substitute that into the 2nd equation.
2.50(6K) + .50K = 7750
Distribute 2.50 into the parenthesis
15K + .50K = 7750
combine like terms
15.50K = 7750
Divide both sides by 15.50, the left side will cancel out.
K = 7750/15.50
K = 500 tickets
So, 500 kid tickets were sold.
Plug K into our first equation (G = 6k)
G = 6*500
G = 3000 tickets
So, 3000 general admission tickets were sold,
Let's check this:
$2.50(3000 tickets) = $7500 (cost of general admission tickets)
$.50(500 tickets) = $250 (cost of general admission tickets)
$7500 + $250 = $7750 (total cost of tickets)
Answer:
x ≤ 6 and x ≥ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For now, we will start with doing each problem at a time. Here is your equation:
2x - 4 ≤ 8
First, you want to get the variable by itself. So, you add 4 to both sides. It will look like this:
2x - 4 ≤ 8
+ 4 + 4
The four being added on the left side cancels out, and you add 4 to 8. Now, it should look like this:
2x ≤ 12
Next, you want the x by itself. So, you would divide both sides by 2.
2x ≤ 12
/2 /2
2 divided by 2 cancels out, and 12 divided by 2 equals 6. Now, you have a final answer of:
x ≤ 6
But, you now have to do the other one!
Here is what you start off with:
x + 5 ≥ 7
First, you want the variable side by itself. So, you subtract 5 from both sides.
x + 5 ≥ 7
- 5 -5
Now, you have this:
x ≥ 2
Because the variable is already by itself, you don't need to do any more division and this is you final answer. Now put both answers you got together which equals:
x ≤ 6 and x ≥ 2
B. 24x2 is the correct answer
