3(x+4)=9
3x+12=9
3x=-3
x=-1
Hope this helps :D
If the number is x, then:
6x+1= (x-1)^2
Now we just need to simplify it
6x+1=(x-1)*(x-1)
6x+1=x^2-2x+1
8x=x^2
8=x
The number is 8.
To check the answer
6*8+1=7^2
49=49
correct :)
Answer:
your answer should be 0.96
Step-by-step explanation:
=
equals
k = 15.6
First, simplify
to 1.2. Your problem should look like:
= 1.2
Second, multiply both sides by 13. Your problem should look like: k = 15.6, which is the answer.
You are correct!
Step 1:Write what you know
Madeline's Height: 6 ftMadeline's Shadow: 108 in
Friend's Height: X (we use X as a variable because his height is unknown)Friend's Shadow: 108 in - 1.5 ft 108 in - 18 in 90 in
Step 2:Set up proportions
6 x----- = -----108 90
Step 3:Cross Multiply & Solve
108x = 540x = 5 ft tall
