Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.
Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3
3/5 = x/3
cross multiply
3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)
3(3) = x(5)
9 = 5x
Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides
9/5 = 5x/5
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
1.8 in. is your answer
hope this helps
Solve the following system using elimination:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{2 y - x = 21 | (equation 2)
Add 1/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(16 y)/7 = 128/7 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 7/16:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)
Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{7 x+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 7:
{x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -5, y = 8
Answer: x=1 and y=14
Step-by-step explanation: it Welcome sis ✌
There are 66.666666 etc..... so if you round you get
67%
Sorry this is really sloppy but hope this helps!
