Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (b + a) = c
3 (4 + 5) = 7
12 + 15 = 7
27 = 7
27 - 7
20
So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)
(It should be the second one you listed)
Answer:
ΔABC ~ ΔDEF
Step-by-step explanation:
If the given triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar,
Their corresponding sides will be proportional.

By substituting the measures of the given sides,

2 = 2 = 2
Since, corresponding sides of both the triangles are proportional, both the triangles will be similar.
ΔABC ~ ΔDEF
Okay, so the equation for the y-intercept is y=mx+b, this will be your base for graphing anything.
For y = x + 3 it's basically y = 1x + 3. Use b as the y-intercept, or 3, and plot it as (x,y), (0,3). Then use m as the slope, or 1. 1 means positive one so the point goes (0,3), (1, 4), (2, 5).
For y = -3x - 1 it's the same thing but different numbers. Use b, the y-intercept, and plot it. -1 is b, so plot (0,-1). Then use the slope to go up or down the direction you need to go, or m. m is -3, so for every +1 in x, the y will decrease by 3. (0,-1), (0,-4), (0,-7).
I hope this helped in some way or increased your understanding!
When

, you have

Now assume this is true for

, i.e.

and under this hypothesis show that it's also true for

. You have




In other words, there exists

such that

Rewriting, you have



and this is equivalent to

modulo 9, as desired.
