At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A) 7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars

Describe a similarity transformation that maps △ABC
PIT_PIT [208]

Let's start with a picture.

We see RST is smaller, and BC is parallel to but in the opposite direction to its corresponding segment ST.  Both have slope -1.

If we look at the difference of points (technically called vectors but we don't have to go there) we get

C-B=(-2,2)

T-S=(1,-1)

Without further calculation we can see T-S is half the length of C-B.

The problem asks for a dilation followed by a reflection.   We know the dilation scale is k=1/2 because the new triangle is half the size.  

After dilation we get A'B'C':

A'(3,2), B'(-1,0), C'(-2,1)

We see now we need a reflection that flips the coordinates x and y.  That's the +45° line through the origin, namely y=x.

Answer: k=1/2, y=x

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?2(3x+ 2) = 23 x+1<br> 21ę x+ 2) = x+4<br> 2c 21= x+4)= 2
Ket [755]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (1).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+2)=2\frac{2}{5}x+1

\frac{4x}{5}+4=\frac{12}{5}x+1

Therefore, both the sides of the expression are not equal.

False.

Option (2).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+2)=\frac{4}{5}x+4

\frac{4x}{5}+4=\frac{4}{5}x+4

True.

Option (3).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+4)=\frac{4}{5}x+2

\frac{4}{5}x+8=\frac{4}{5}x+2

False.

Option (4).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+4)=2\frac{2}{5}x+8

\frac{4x}{5}+8=\frac{12}{5}x+8

Both the sides are not equal.

False.
