2/3
6x = 4
x = 2/3
The scale factor can be determined by using similar sides
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
Answer:
$24
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 — dress
3/5 — remainder
1/2 of remainder = 1/2 × 3/5 = 3/10 — doll
rewrite fraction spent on dress: 4/10
dress - doll = $8
4/10 - 3/10 = 1/10
1/10 = $8
fraction of money left = 10/10 - 4/10 - 3/10
= 3/10
amount of money left = $8 × 3

Answer:
50.27 or 16pi
Step-by-step explanation:
Just multiply the diameter by pi
y = a(1 + r)ˣ
a = 15 "<em>initial" means what you started with on the first day</em>
r = 6 <em>the rate it increased is the slope (
</em>
y = 15(1 + 6)ˣ
Answer: y = 15(7)ˣ
