4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot
1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard
18 x 9 = 162 pieces
1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.
2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"
3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.
4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.
5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since these two triangles are similar, the ratio between the corresponding lengths of each triangle will be the same.
This means the ratio between one side of each triangle (e.g. AD and DC) will be the same as the ratio between a different side of each triangle (e.g. BE and BC).
So, to create an equation for the sides which contain the unknown 'x', we must first find the ratio between the two sides by using a different set of sides.
On the right side we are given 9 for AD, and 18 for DC.
9/18 = 0.5
This means that the extra length of the larger triangle from the smaller one (AD) is half the length of the smaller triangle (DC). We can use this to make an equation for x:
If AD/DC = 0.5, then BE/EC will also = 0.5
BE = x+23
EC = x+41
Therefore:

Now we can solve by multiplying both sides by x+41 to eliminate the fraction:

Now we multiply out the brackets and move the terms to different sides:



And if we substitute the -5 into the equations:
-5+23 = 18
-5 + 41 = 36
We will see that -5 does indeed give us the same ratio between the lengths:
18/36 = 0.5
