First, find the ratio between the two polygons. Lets take segment MG and TV since they are congruent. MG is 4, TV is 3. The ratio of MG to TV is 4:3. We can write it as 4/3. Since other arts are congruent as well, then NK is congruent to PR, and has a ratio of 4:3. This means that (3x-2)/(x+4) is equal to 4/3. Now solve for x
(3x-2)/(x+4)=4/3
3(3x-2)=4(x+4) ---cross multiply
9x-6=4x+16
9x-4x-6=4x-4x+16 ---subtract 4x from both sides
5x-6=16
5x-6+6=16+6 ---add 6 on both sides
5x=22
5x/5=22/5 ---divide 5 on both sides
x=22/5
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
so x=2 and y=5
5 = 5 x 2 - 5
0=0
equation is right
Answer:
5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Each can holds 2 liters of paint. There is 11 liters of paint. The question is asking you to figure out how many cans of paint you can fill with 11 liters of paint. We can divide 11 by 2 to get the answer. 11÷2=5.5. The reason this works is because we are dividing the total amount of paint by how much each can will hold. 5.5 can also be written as "five and a half". So, the 11 liters of paint will fill 5.5 cans. Hope this helps!
Answer:
d. -24
Step-by-step explanation:
M(-1)=(-1)^2-3(-1)
M(-1)=1+3
M(-1)=4
N(-1)=-1-5
N(-1)=-6
MN(-1)=(4)(-6)
MN(-1)=-24
Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation
3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4
sub back
y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2
x=4
y=2
(4,2) is soluiton
