Answer:

D 9/DF = 18/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional. The proportions based on a given similarity statement can be written 4 ways.

For these isosceles triangles, the similarity statement could be written either of two ways:

ΔDEF ~ ΔABC or ΔDEF ~ ΔCBA

Corresponding sides will depend on the similarity statement you use. Using the first one, they are ...

DF and AC (short sides)

DE and AB (long sides)

EF and BC (long sides)

For each (short side, long side) pair, we can write the proportion 4 ways:

DF/DE = AC/AB ⇒ DF/9 = 16/18
DF/AC = DE/AB ⇒ DF/16 = 9/18
DE/DF = AB/AC ⇒ 9/DF = 18/16 . . . . . matches choice D
AC/DF = AB/DE ⇒ 16/DF = 18/9

Using the other pair of long sides, or using the other similarity statement, the numerical proportions are the same as the ones listed above.

4, 5, and 7 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem right away.

We construct a number $x$ such that taking it mod 4, 5, and 7 leaves the desired remainders:

$x=3\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6$

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv3\cdot5\cdot7\equiv105\equiv1\pmod4$

so we multiply the first term by 3.

Taken mod 5, the first and last terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv4\cdot2\cdot7\equiv51\equiv1\pmod5$

so we multiply the second term by 2.

Taken mod 7, the first two terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv4\cdot5\cdot6\equiv120\equiv1\pmod7$

so we multiply the last term by 7.

Now,

$x=3^2\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2^2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6^2=1147$

By the CRT, the system of congruences has a general solution

$n\equiv1147\pmod{4\cdot5\cdot7}\implies\boxed{n\equiv27\pmod{140}}$

or all integers $27+140k$ , $k\in\mathbb Z$ , the least (and positive) of which is 27.

Explain how the steps of the distributive property can be used to solve the equation 3(x + 4) =36 ?

Oksanka [162]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation. Multiply each of the two numbers inside the parentheses by 12 and then combine those products. Next, solve as you would solve any two-step equation. To isolate \begin{align*}12x\end{align*} on the left side of the equation, add 24 from both sides.
