Answer:
4/5 = 80% and 8/10 = 80%
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so first we distribute, you multiply the seven into everything in the parentheses next to it. So far we have, 14a+21+3(4a-2). You distribute the three into the parentheses to get, 14a+21+12a-6. You combine the like terms to get, 26a-15. You cannot simplify it any further so the answer is 26a-15.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you can draw a table that has 7 rows and 7 columns, put the 6 numbers and their difference( 1-1=0, 1-2= -1, 1-3= -2,...)
- 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 0 1 2 3 4 5
2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2
5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1
6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
