Claire correctly solved the proportion x/4 = 36/16 for x using cross products to get the equation 16x = 144 and then dividing bo

th sides by 16 to get x =9 . She showed that she can use cross products to solve the proportion because she gets the same answer if the solves it as shown
what property allowed her to go from x/4= 36/16 to x/4 x = 36/16 x 4?

Answer:

The cross product property

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross product property also known as cross multiplication is a method in math that is most of the time used in solving problems involving ratios usually in a big X form across the equal sign between two ratios.

It is done by multiplying the numerator of the left ratio by the denominator of the right with an equal to the multiplication of the numerator of the right ratio by the denominator of the left.

X - the number of plants in 8 in pots
y - the number of plants in 10 in pots

x+y=6\\
5x+8y=36\\\\
x=6-y\\
5x+8y=36\\
5(6-y)+8y=36\\

3y=6\\
y=2\\\\
x+2=6\\
x=4

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the graph of f(x)=x and the graph of g(x)=f(x)+5 ?
Anettt [7]
<h3>Answer: B) f(x) is translated 5 units up</h3>

Recall that y = f(x) since both are outputs of a function

Saying f(x)+5 is the same as y+5. So we're adding 5 to each y coordinate of each (x,y) point. A point like (1,7) turns into (1,12) after doing this shifting.

Doing this to every point shifts the entire f(x) curve 5 units up to get g(x)

The bases of the trapezoid are 6 and 10. The height is 4. Find the area.
ollegr [7]
Answer

b. 32 sq. unit

Step-by-step Explanation

The area of the trapezoid is given by

A = \frac{1}{2} (b_{1} + b_{2}) \times h

We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain;

A = \frac{1}{2}(10 + 6) \times 4

Simplify

A = \frac{1}{2} (16) \times 4

A = 16 \times 2
Hence the area is

A = 36 \: sq \: units
