we can establish a ratio since triangle MNQ is equal to Triangle MLP.
your answer is B 9 inches
X = -m/b.
Subtract z from both side and you get
-m= bx
Now divide both side by b and you get
-m/b= x
Hey there!
The main concept of pre-algebra is solving equations for variables in them.
For example, let's say you have the algebraic equation below.
x+1=3
With algebra, you need to figure what x is equal to. To do so, you will use inverse operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x one side, showing what it is equal to.
We would subtract 1 to both sides to isolate x on one side.
x+1-1=3-1
As you can see, +1-1=0, therefore, this would give us x+0, or just x. Now it is isolated and will show us what it is equal to.
x=3-1
x=2
Therefore, in our equation x+1=3, x would be equal to 2.
I hope this explanation helps! Have a great time here at Brainly!
Well, what you're going to do is.. turn 3 1/2 into an irregular fraction.
3 = 6/2
we still have the initially 1/2 left so we will add that.
7/2
now we want to change it so that the denominator is equal to 4 so we multiply both top and bottom by 2
14/4
now we divide the 14 by 3 and you will get approximately 4. we will ignore the rest because it asks for whole servings and 3 only goes nicely into 14 4 times
