the numbers are 3 and 18

let the first number be n then the second number = 6n and the sum

sum = n + 6n = 21 thus

7n = 21

divide both sides of the equation by 7

n = $\frac{21}{7}$ = 3

the numbers are 3 and 6 × 3 = 18 → (3 + 18 = 21)

A + B = 21
6 x A = B

A + 6xA = 21
7xA=21
21/7= 3

A=3
B=18

Parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: The required scale factor of the dilation is 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form similar parallelogram F'G'H'J'.

We are to find the scale factor of the dilation.

From the graph, we note that

JH = 2 units and J'H' = 8 units.

We know that

$\textup{Scale factor of dilation}=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated figure}}{\textup{length of the correponding side of the original figure}}.$

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is

$S=\dfrac{J'H'}{JH}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow S=4.$

Thus, the required scale factor of the dilation is 4.

On the following number line, two rational numbers are graphed.Represent the two numbers as fractions (or mixed numbers) in lowe

nordsb [41]

The first graphed rational number is at the middle of -2 and -1, thus the number represented is $-1 \frac{1}{2}$

The second graphed number is five out of six places from from 0 to 1, thus the number graphed is $0+ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

The difference between the two numbers can be represented as
$-1 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6}$
or
$\frac{5}{6} -(-1 \frac{1}{2} )= \frac{5}{6} +1 \frac{1}{2}$

To find the difference,

$-1 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ =-1 \frac{3+5}{6} \\ \\ =-1 \frac{8}{6} =-2 \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ =-2 \frac{1}{3}$

Also,

$\frac{5}{6} +1 \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ =1 \frac{5+3}{6} \\ \\ =1 \frac{8}{6} =2 \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ =2 \frac{1}{6}$

To hang lights up on his house.Garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house. How high up the house will t

Mariulka [41]

This seems like a right triangle problem.

So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem ( $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ ) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.

So, the equation is $4^{2} +x^{2} =14^{2}$ .

Solve for x:

16+x^{2}= 196

x^{2}= 196-16

x^{2}= 180

x = 6√5 feet

Hope this helps!
