Answer:

x=16.1

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4.5= -0.5(x -7.1)$

Divide both sides by -0.5

$9=x-7.1$

Add 7.1 to both sides

$16.1=x$

3. I am collecting baseball cards. My goal before I turn 18 is to have 500 cards. When I tumed 10,

vladimir2022 [97]

Based on the scenario given, the equation to describe the situation will be: c + 125 + 89 = 500 and 286 cards need to be collected.

Number of cards given by grandfather = 125 cards

Number of cards that will be given by father = 89 cards

Therefore, based on the information given, the equation to describe the situation will be:

c + 125 + 89 = 500

Therefore, we can then use the equation to calculate the number of cards that need to be collected. This will be:

c + 125 + 89 = 500

c + 214 = 500

c = 500 - 214

c = 286

Therefore, the person needs to collect 286 cards.

Given points A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1), which of the following proves that

damaskus [11]

Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

For triangle ABC, we have:

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

$BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5$

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

For triangle DEF, we have:

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

$EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5$

$FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1$

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

$k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}$

This gives

$k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}$

Evaluate the quotients

$k = 2 = 2 = 2$

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

Dana is buying Grandparents' Day gifts at the mall. She spends $13.75 on a teacup for her grandmother. She spends 4/5 of that on

marysya [2.9K]

The total money Dana spent in all is $24.75

<h3>Ratio and proportions</h3>

Ratio are written as fractions of two integers. For instance a/b.

Amount spent for grandmother = $13.75

Amount spent on grand father = 4/5 * 13.75

Amount spent on grand father = $11

Take the sum

Total money spent = $13.75 + $11

Total money spent = $24.75

Hence the total money Dana spent in all is $24.75
