Answer:

5 2/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve this problem

hours over money

4.5 hours x hours

------------- = ------------

27 dollars 34 dollars

Using cross products

4.5 * 34 = 27 * x

153 =27x

Divide each side by 27

153/27 = 27x/27

5.666666 hours

How many solutions does an equation of the form x^2- k^2= 0 have?

N76 [4]

1. Use Difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
(x+k)(x-k)=0

2. Solve for x and k
x=+-k

Solve for r and t: 6r - 3t = 6 6r + 8t = -16

Slav-nsk [51]

6r - 3t = 6 /*8
6r + 8t = - 16 /*3

48r - 24t = 48
48r + 24t = - 48
---------------------- +
96r = 0
r = 0

t = ( -16 + 6r)/8 = - 16/8 = - 2

vova2212 [387]

So, in an easier way to say it
4 × 5 × -2

You would start by doing
4 × 5 = 20
Then,
20 × -2 = 40

So your answer is -40

Hope I helped ♥

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 1, y + 1) and the dilation by a scale factor of 3 from the origin. Which eq

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$B''C''=3BC$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length of segment B''C'' is equal to the length of segment BC multiplied by the scale factor

step 1

Find the length of segment BC

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the points

B(1,-3),C(-3,-3)

substitute the values

$BC=\sqrt{(-3+3)^{2}+(-3-1)^{2}}$

$BC=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$BC=4\ units$

The segment B''C'' is equal to the segment BC multiplied by the scale factor

The scale factor is 3

$B''C''=BC(3)$

$B''C''=3BC$

substitute

$B''C''=3(4)=12\ units$
