Answer:
a = 8; b = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Filling in the given values gives you two equations.
7 = a(2) +b
-1 = a(1) +b
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)
8 = a . . . . . simplify
Using this value in the first equation gives ...
7 = (8)(2) +b
b = 7 -16 = -9
The constants are a = 8, b = -9.
6, 9, 9, 12, 18, 24, 24, 24, 37
37-6= 31
Answer: The area of Charlene's rhombus is nine times smaller than the area of Jerry's rhombus.
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that the exercise says "
times the base and height of Jerry’s rhombus".
The area of a rhombus can be calculated with the following formula:

Where "b" is the length of the base and "a" is the altitude or the height.
Then, you can calculate the area using the formula shown above.
Therefore, you get:
1. Jerry's rhombus:

2. Charlene's rhombus:

Dividing the area calculated, you get:

Therefore, you can conclude that the area of Charlene's rhombus is nine times smaller than the area of Jerry's rhombus.
Answer:
5√2
Step-by-step explanation:
√8 + √18
We first have to find what is the largest perfect square that goes into √8:
4 is the largest, so therefore → √8 gives you 2√2:
Work: √4 * √2 → 2 * √2 → 2√2
Now we have to find what is the largest perfect square that goes into √18:
9 is the largest, so therefore → √18 gives you 3√2:
Work: √9 * √2 → 3 * √2 → 3√2
Because 2√2 and 3√2 have the same "base" of √2, they can be added together:
2√2 + 3√2 = 5√2 (The "bases" are to be left alone!)
