You re write the equation, so when the equations are added one of the variables are eliminated
Answer:
x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
You're Welcome :)
Answer:
the scale factor is 3/4
x = 16×3/4 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
the only side length we have for both triangles is the short left side.
we see that we get ED from SR and need to transform 4 into 3. how do we do that ?
well,
4×f = 3
f = 3/4
that is the scaling factor, as all side lengths in EDF are created by multiplying the corresponding side in SRT by the same scaling factor (3/4).
therefore,
x = EF = ST×f = 16×3/4 = 4×3 = 12
Two basic ways in which to do this problem:
1. Find and apply the LCD.
2. Convert all of the given numbers to their decimal form, to 2 or 3 places only.
Try #2 first:
5/6 = 0.83
4/5 = 0.80 is not between 5/6 and 1. Reject it.
4/7 = 0.57 Reject
6/7 = 0.86 This is between 5/6 and1. This is the answer.
