Answer:
x = 5.4
Step-by-step explanation:
(This question has already been answered, but both of the incorrect ones were deleted, so for future reference...)
Fig A is a scale image of Fig D. These two quadrilaterals are similar, and thus, the side lengths of corresponding sides are proportional. Set the proportion x/3 = 7.2/4 (you could alternatively write it as x/7.2 = 3/4 but for the simplicity's sake, and assuming anyone who has this problem would already know how to solve proportions like these...)
7.2/4 = 1.8
so
x/3 = 1.8
now multiply both sides by 3 to get x = 5.4
Answer:
2.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because of the stated scale rate. 1/5 is equal to 20% with that 20% of 11 inches would yield 2.2 inches hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x² + 12x + 9 = 0
Use AC method to factor, or recognize the perfect square.
(2x + 3)² = 0
2x + 3 = 0
x = -3/2
Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:
And now, solving for x = 9 we have:
b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression
c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:
And now, solving for z = 16 we have:
