Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if the triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion ( or you can think that they make equivalent fractions like 2/3 = 4/6 )
44/ (x+2) = 20/7 = 3x+1 /5 ( all of those are equivalent fractions)
use that 
is the same as a*d = b*c
is the same as 20(x+2) = 7*44
20x +40 = 308; subtract 40 from both sides
20x = 268; divide by 20 both sides
x= 13.4
Because they both have a ratio of 5:3 or 5/3
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of -3 is |-3|, which in turn is 3. Thus we have
3(3), or 9. The fourth answer choice is the correct one.
Answer:
y = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
direct variation
y =kx
substitute in what we know to find k
1/2 = k*3
solve for k
divide by 3
1/2 /3 = k
1/6 = k
substitute k into the direct variation equation
y = 1/6 x
let x = 1
y = 1/6 *1
y = 1/6
