The locomotive is 40 ft long.
40 ft = 40 * 12 in. = 480 in.
The locomotive is 480 inches line.
The model is 16 inches long.
480/16 = 30
The real locomotive is 30 times longer than the model.
A window on the locomotive is 30 times wider than a window on the model.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = -5
Discussion:
The line has an undefined slope. This implies the line is vertical and its equation is like "x = a" for some constant "a", We are told the line passes through (-5,6) so the first coordinate, -5, is the "a" value we need.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
We are informed that Stephen rewrites 3r - 18 = 27 as 3(r - 6) = 3(9). This is quite thoughtful of Stephen and it's an easier way to solve the question.
In this case, 3 is a common factor to 3r, 18 and 27. Therefore, we will then have: 3(r - 6) = 3(9).
Since 3 is a common base to both, we are more concerned with the values inside the brackets. This will be:
r-6 = 9
r = 9 + 6
r = 15
Check: 3r - 18
3(15) - 18 = 45 - 18 = 27
