Answer:

  • trail mix: $1.25
  • jelly beans: $3.50 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between double the first purchase and the second purchase is $7 and 2 pounds of jelly beans. Hence a pound of jelly beans is $3.50.

  (4t +8j) -2(2t +3j) = (33) -2(13) . . . . . let t and j represent pounds of trail mix and jelly beans, respectively

  2j = 7 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  j = 7/2 = 3.50

Using that value in the first purchase, we get ...

  2t +3(3.50) = 13

  2t = 13 -10.50

  t = 2.50/2 = 1.25

A pound of trail mix is $1.25.

A’B’C’ is a dilation image if ABC which is the correct description of the dilation
Sav [38]

Answer:

The dilation is an enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem Triangles A'B'C' and ABC are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Let

z------> the scale factor

so

z=\frac{A'C'}{AC}

substitute the values

z=\frac{2+8}{2}

z=\frac{10}{2}=5

The scale factor is greater than 1

therefore

The dilation is an enlargement
