Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
Answer:
8 pounds

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the scale factor of a dilation, we first find two corresponding sides. For example, the top edge of the black shape corresponds with the top edge of the purple shape. The top edge of the black shape measures 15 units while the top edge of the purple shape measures 3 units
Now, we divide the length taken from the figure by the length taken from the original shape. In this case, we divide the length of 3 by the length of 15.
3/15=
I hope this helps!

notice, the distance is the same, upstream or downstream, thus is "d" for both
solve for "r"
