D , because 28-9=21 and 21=x
Answer: infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, our equation is:
-2.1*b + 5.3 = b - 3.1*b + 5.3
now, simplifyng the right side, we have:
b - 3.1*b + 5.3 = (1 - 3.1)*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3
Then our initial expression is:
-2.1*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3
So in both sides of the equality we have the exact same thing, so this is a trivial equality.
This means that the equality will remain true for any value of b, which means that we have infinitely many solutions.
1/2
If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2
