2 - 3 (2x - 5) = 6x + 1
2 -6x +15 = 6x +1 distribute the -3 to (2x -5)
-6x + 17 = 6x + 1 add 2 + 15
16 = 12x add the -6x to the positive 6x and subtract the 1 from 17
1 1/3 = x divide 16/12
Answer:
Choice C
Step-by-step explanation:
This is like a matching question. Here's what I mean by this. We know Triangle BCA and Triange JKL are congruent. So, what we have to do is match the side lengths together.
So the first side of BCA matches with JKL, the second side of BCA matches with JKL, the third side of BCA matches with JKL.
So first side:
BC is congruent to JK
So second side:
CA is congruent to KL
So third side:
JL is congruent to BA
The third side is one of our answer choices.
That answer choice is C.
Answer:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%267%5C%5C5%26-8%5C%5C3%26-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dc%5C%5Cd%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-16%5C%5C3%5C%5C-15%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This tells us that:
![A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&7\\5&-8\\3&-9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%267%5C%5C5%26-8%5C%5C3%26-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-16%5C%5C3%5C%5C-15%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are saying we have scalars, c and d, such that:
![c\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\5\\ 3\end{array}\right]+d\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\-8\\-9\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-16\\3\\-15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D5%5C%5C5%5C%5C%203%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%2Bd%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%5C%5C-8%5C%5C-9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-16%5C%5C3%5C%5C-15%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
.
So we want to find a way to express this as:
Ax=b where x is the scalar vector, ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}c\\d\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dc%5C%5Cd%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
.
So we can write this as:
I think it's D. 7 times out of 34 times
So 20% is 1/5 as a percent.
So 1/5 multiplied by 5 equals 5/5, or 1.
So if 1/5 = 6, then 6 multiplied by 5, or 30, must equal 5/5, or 1.
So the total number of dolls in Amyia's doll collection is 30.
