Answer:

Ivan had 288 sweet while Ken had 672 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sweets owned by Ken and Ivan be k and v respectively.

After Ken gave away 5/7 of his sweet, what he had left

= k - 5k/7

= 2k/7

he had 2/3 as many sweets as Ivan then

2k/7 = 2v/3

Divide both sides by 2 and cross multiply

7v = 3k

Ivan then gave away 120 sweets, Ivan would have

v - 120 = k/4

multiply both sides by 4

4v - 480 = k

7v = 3(4v - 480)

7v = 12v - 1440

12v - 7v = 1440

5v = 1440

v = 1440/5

= 288

7v = 3k

7 * 288 = 3k

k = 7 * 288/3

= 672

Enter the coordinates of the vertices of r(180,0) and t(3,-2) (QRST) will give crown
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of the vertices are,

Q(1, 3), R(3, -3), S(0, -2) and T(-2, 1)

Following the rule of translation by 3 units to the right and 2 units down T_{(3, -2)}

(x, y) → (x+3, y-2)

Q(1, 3) → Q''(4, 1)

R(3, -3) → R"(6, -5)

S(0, -2) → S"(3, -4)

T(-2, 1) → T"(1, -1)

Following rule r_{(180,\text{O})} (rotation of a point by 180° about the origin) will give the image points,

(x, y) → (-x, -y)

Q"(4, 1) → Q'(-4, -1)

R"(6, -5) → R'(-6, 5)

S"(3, -4) → S'(-3, 4)

T"(1, -1) → T'(-1, 1)
