Answer:
<em>Step 1: 4 x − 3 − 2 x − 10 </em>
<em>Step 2: 2 x − 13</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression;
(4 x − 3) − 2 (x + 5)
The following steps/ procedure are to be taken when simplifying the expression.
open the parenthesis
(4 x − 3) − 2 (x + 5)
= 4x-3 -2(x)-2(5)
= 4x-3-2x-10
collect the like terms
= 4x-2x-3-10
simplify the resulting expression
= 2x-13
Hence the procedure that correctly simplifies the expression are:
Step 1: 4 x − 3 − 2 x − 10
Step 2: 2 x − 13
Answer:
7
Explanation:
From the question, we're told that triangles AMY and MEG are similar. If triangle AMY has sides AM = 5, MY = 7, and AY = 3 then we can find the side lengths of triangle MEG since we're told from the question that it is a dilation of AMY by a scale factor of 1/3.
So all we need to is multiply the corresponding sides of AMY by 1/3, so we'll have;

We can then go ahead and find the perimeter of MEG. Note that to find the perimeter of a triangle, we add all the length of its sides;

The perimeter of MEG is 7.
Answer:
13. 108 inches
14. not similar (sides have different ratios)
15. 68
Step-by-step explanation:
13. You have two relationships between length and width:
2L + 2W = 336 . . . . . the perimeter is 336 inches
L/W = 9/5 . . . . . . . . . .the ratio of length to width is 9/5
Multiplying the second equation by 5/9W, we get
5/9L = W
Now we can substitute that into the first equation to get ...
2L +2(5/9L) = 336
Multiplying by 9 gives us ...
18L +10L = 3024
And dividing by 28 gives ...
3024/28 = L = 108 . . . . inches
___
14. Shortest to longest, the ratios of sides are 6 : 8 : 9 and 2 : 4 : 5. There is no value that will multiply the first ratio to give the second ratio. For example, multiplying by 1/3 gives ...
2 : 2 2/3 : 3 . . . . <u>not</u> 2 : 4 : 5
Similar triangles have the same side ratios. These do not, so they are not similar triangles.

15. MP is a midsegment of triangle JKL and parallel to base JL. A midsegment is half the length of the parallel base. Then JL is twice as long as MP. JL is 68 units long.
Answer:
4/15
Step-by-step explanation:

It beats 27 times because the sum of 15 and 45 is 60 and
