These are the equations given:
31=B+J
B=2J+4

So you substitute B=2J+4 into 31=B+J

31=2J+4+J

Solve

31-4=3J+4-4
27=3J
27/3=3J/3
9=J

Jake has 9 cd's.

Answer:

j = 9 (# of CDs Jake has)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations::

b + j = 31 CDs

b = 2j+4

-----

Substitute for "b" and solve for "j"::

2j+4 + j = 31

3j = 27

j = 9 (# of CDs Jake has)

What is the scale factor of this dilation?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

<h2>Three-fourths</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Triangle XYZ</h3>

$XY=10\\ZY=12\\ZX=8\\$

<h3>Triangle X'Y'Z'</h3>

$X'Y'=7.5\\Z'Y'=9\\Z'X'=6$

To find the factor of dilation, we just need to divide the sides of the prime figure with the sides of the original figure.

$\frac{10}{7.5}= 1.333333333..\\\frac{12}{9}=1.333333...\\ \frac{8}{6}=1.3333333....$

Notice that 1.333333.... is equivalent to 4/3, but the factor of dilation is from the smaller figure to the bigger figure. That means it's the opposite: 3/4.

Therefore, the factor of dilation is three-fourths.
