Answer:

The distance is 750 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we create a proportion. On the left would be the scale factor. On the right would be the Idaho to Arizona distance.

1in / 300 mi = 2.5in / x mi

Now we can cross multiply to find the distance.

300 * 2.5 = 1 * x

750 mi = x

Carlos is a member of a gym. He pays a monthly fee plus a per- visit fee. The equation y = 3x + 10 represents the monthly amount
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

25 times

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times he visited, plug in 85 as y and solve for x:

y = 3x + 10

85 = 3x + 10

75 = 3x

25 = x

So, Carlos visited the gym 25 times

The admission fee at a movie theater is $2.50 for children and $7.00 for adults. On a certain day, 2100 people enter the theater
alexdok [17]
Make two equations
C = children, A = adults
2.50C + 7.00A = 7950
(C + A = 2100) * 2.5
2.50C + 2.50A = 5250
Use elimination
4.5A = 2700, A = 600
2100 - 600 = 1500
Solution: 600 adults, 1500 children

If the radius of a circle is increased by x, by what amount is the circumference of the circle increased? A) x. B) 2x. C) 2piex
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

c) 2 pi x

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is based on the equations:

C = pi * d where d = diameter

We also know that the radius is half of the diameter as its the length of a line from the centre of the circle while the diameter is the length of two opposite points through the centre of the circle.

This tells us that d = 2r

So we can replace the equation for the circumference with:

C = pi * 2r

An increase of x to the radius would thus mean that the circumference is increased by 2(pi * x), as 2(pi * (r + x) could be used to find the new value of the circumference, which is the same as:

2(pi * r) +  2(pi * x)

So the answer is 2 pi x
