Answer:
-42
Step-by-step explanation:
-2y = 46
y = 46/ -2
y = -23
Substitute y in y = 4x-11
-23 = 4x -11
-23+11 =4x
-12 = 4x
x = -12/4
x = -3
Now plug in x value in 14x
14(-3) = -42
Set up a proportion.
The total side of the “top” line is 8 + 10 = 18. The total side of the “bottom” line is 45. This makes the ratio 18/45.
Now we are trying to find the “larger” bottom segment, let it be x. Because the lines are parallel, the ratio of the “larger” top and bottom segments is equal to the ratio of the whole top and bottom lines.
So 18/45 = 10/x
Reduce 2/5 = 10/x
Cross multiply 2x = 50
Solve x = 25
if each block is 2/3 miles long, and he walks 4 1/2 blocks, we can simply multiply to two. It looks like this:
(2/3)(4 1/2)
to multiply, make 4 1/2 into an improper fraction and multiply normally
(2/3)(9/4)
Ton walks 3 miles total.
So I guess we are solving for x here :)
So here is my work...
a=2x+6xz
Basically I think it would be
a=6xz+2x
WAIT WAIT NO I'M WRONG FORGIVE ME!
It's x=a/2(1+3z)
