Answer:

Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.

As per the statement:

Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.

"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x

"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3

⇒y = 2x-3         .....[1]

It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.

⇒x+y =15      .....[2]

Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

x+2x-3 = 15

Combine like terms;

3x-3 =15

Add 3 to both sides we get;

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

x = 6

Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;

y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9

y = 9

Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;

Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9

AABC - DEF. What sequence of transformations will move A ABC onto A DEF? 10 8 A(0.4) B(0,0) C(3.0) -10 -8 -6 -4:1-2 6 8 10 -2D(0
lesya [120]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

It's clear from the graph attached,

ΔABC has been dilated and shifted downwards.

Length of segment AB = 2 units

Length of segment DE = 4 units

Scale factor by which the dilation has been done = \frac{\text{Dimension of the image triangle}}{\text{Dimension of the original triangle}}

Scale factor = \frac{DE}{AB}

                    = \frac{4}{2}

                    = 2

Therefore, triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 2 about the origin.

Lets consider a point B(0, 0) from the given graph and analyze the transformations done.

If a point B(0, 0) is shifted to point E(0, -10) which follows the rule,

B(0, 0) → E(0 + h, 0 + k)

Here, 'h' and 'k' are the translations of the given point over x-axis and y-axis.

Therefore, (0 + h) = 0 ⇒ h = 0

0 + k = -10

k = -10

Hence, triangle ABC has been dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered at origin and followed by the translation (x, y - 10)

Option B is the correct option.
