To find a scale factor between two similar figures, find two corresponding sides and write the ratio of the two sides. If you begin with the smaller figure, your scale factor will be less than one. If you begin with the larger figure, your scale factor will be greater than one.
Answer:
The remainder is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Jonah's Marble=x
If he arranges x marbles into y rows of 13 each, and there are remainders(R)
Then:
x/13=y+(R/13).....(I)
If he borrows 5 marbles from a friend, there will be no remainder. However, the number of rows y, will be increased by 1
New Total Marbles=x+5
(x+5)/13=y+1.....(ii)
x+5=13(y+1)
x=13y+13-5
x=13y+8
From (I)
x=13y+R
Comparing the values of x derived from (I) and (ii)
13y+R=13y+8
Therefore the Remainder, R= 8
Answer:
2,070,281
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = number of years
let y = population
Given:
- initial population = 500000
- rate of increase = 7%
y = 500000 × 1.07^x
when x = 21:
y = 500000 × 1.07^(21) = 2070281.187... = 2,070,281
Answer:
Let the original number be x
Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.
also, the successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.
Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1
As per the given condition :
we have;
Using distributive property on LHS (i.e, 
)
Then, we have
5x+5+x=83
Combine like terms;
6x+5=83
Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;
6x+5-5=83-5
Simplify:
6x=78
Divide both side by 6,
Simplify:
x =13
Therefore, the original number x is, 13
