Answer: 3.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be p,

Generate an equation from the question

6 x p -5= 17 = 6p - 5 = 17

Make p subject of equation

6p= 17 + 5

6p = 22

Divide both sides by 6

p = 22/6

p= 3.66667

Check:

Slot the value of p into the equation

6 (3.66667) - 5= 17

22 - 5 = 17

a rectangle is transformed according to the rule r0, 90º. the image of the rectangle has vertices located at r'(–4, 4), s'(–4, 1
AleksandrR [38]
Graph images undergo transformations, one of the types of transformations are rotations.
rotation is done when each point of the image rotates 90° around a point in the counterclockwise manner. 
when rotation is done, (x,y) -> (-y,x)
therefore when taking points from image to original then the reverse is done ;
(-y,x) --> (x,y)
the coordinates of  image point q' is (-3,4)
before rotation then the coordinates are (4,3)
answer is (4,3)

Please help ASAP!! Will mark brainliest!!
Sergio [31]

The answer is 10 because all the angles are equal making it a equilateral triangle.

Therefore, the sides are all equal to one another, 3x - 8 = 5x - 20.

You just solve for x and get 6. You then plug in 6 for x and evauluate the equation, getting 10.

PLEASE HELP MEEEE THANKS IF YIU DO
castortr0y [4]

B. Not moving, is the correct answer.

A is not correct because constant speed on a distance vs. time graph would vertically point to the right. C is not correct because acceleration on a distance vs. time graph would curve upwards. D is not correct because B applies to the graph.

Hope this helps :)
