Answer:
The diameter of the model is 14.4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Diameter of the moon = 2,160 miles
The scale on the model represents 1 in = 150 miles
Let the model represents k inches in 2,160 miles.
So, by the Ratio of Proportionality:
⇒
or, k = 14.4 inches
⇒On the scale 2160 miles is represented as 14.4 inches
Hence the diameter of the model is 14.4 inches.
The equation given is:
15x - 3y = 21
Slope intercept form is:
y = mx + b
15x - 3y = 21
-15x -15x
-------------------
-3y = -15x + 21
/-3 /-3 /-3
---------------------
y = 5x -7
The answer is: y = 5x - 7

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
o,o is in the origin
Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"
So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
