She has 47 total
20 are from Europe
some are from Africa,
and some from Asia

how many from Africa? hmm let's say "a"
how many from Asia? hmm let's say "b"

we know that, she has twice as many "a" as she has "b" stamps,
so, whatever "b" is, a = 2 * b, or a = 2b

so.. let us add them together

\bf \begin{array}{llllllll}
20&+&a&+&b&=&47\\
\uparrow &&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
europe&&africa&&asia\\
\downarrow &&\downarrow &&\downarrow \\
20&+&2b&+&b&=&47
\end{array}

solve for "b", to see how many from Asia she has

what's "a"? well, a = 2b , that's how many African ones she has :)

2 m  -  polyester fabric: 4, cotton fabric: 14

6 m  -  polyester fabric: 12, cotton fabric: 42

8 m  -  polyester fabric: 16, cotton fabric: 56

9 m  -  polyester fabric: 18, cotton fabric: 63

check:

2 m: 4/14=2/7

6 m: 12/42=2/7

8 m: 16/56=2/7

9 m: 18/63 = 2/7

Make a conjecture. What properties do you think stay the same after a translation? Check all that apply. angle measures length o
Andrews [41]
I would check all of these answers because basically, when performing a translation, you are simply moving the shape around. It is not being stretched or manipulated in shape so the angle measures, length, shape, and size would not change. Also, a translation does not rotate the object, so the orientation would not change either. :)

Use the drop-down menus to complete each equation so the statement about its solution is true. I’ll give brainliest :))
melisa1 [442]

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 4 + 7x + 1 = 7x + 2.

If there are no solutions, then it is of the form 7x + c, where c is any real number besides 2.

If there is 1 solution, then it is of the form mx + c, where m is any real number besides 7 and c is any real number.

If there are infinitely many solutions, then it is of the form 7x + 2.
