3.) 5x-6=0, Add 6 to either side -> 5x=6, divide each side by 5 -> x=6/5 ---- 4.) x+y/3=5, multiple each side by 3 -> x+y=15, move y to the other side -> x=-y+15
Four sided figure is a quadrilateral
Since only one person can finish in first place, one in second, etc., the total number of placers is 12x11x10, or 1320 different ways the 12 racers can finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd....

Imagine A'V' is part of the dilated figure, and AV is part of the original figure.
A'V' = 3.2
AV = 3.2 + 4.8 = 8
A'V'/AV = 3.2/8 = 2/5
Answer: First choice, 2/5.
