Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y, when x = 12, as follows:

y = 175 - 15x

y = 175 - 15 * 12

y = 175 - 180

y = - 5

This result means that after 12 minutes the fish tank would be completely drained and if it's needed 5 additional gallons of water could also be drained. It's not necessary to continue making more calculation with the the other options given because this is the right answer.

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

Answer:

0r

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they all have r you can pretend it s not there and add it on at the end.

Now 10 - 5 is 5. 5 + 3 is 8. 8 - 8 is 0. tack the r onto the end and you get 0r.

Pqr is similar to xyz what is the perimeter of xyz? A.21cm B.63cm C. 105cm D.126cm
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

option D. 126 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

Triangles PQR and XYZ are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

so

\frac{XY}{PQ}=\frac{YZ}{QR}=\frac{XZ}{PR}

Let

z ---> the scale factor

z=\frac{XY}{PQ}

substitute the given values

z=\frac{30}{5}=6

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle XYZ

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

p_1 ----> the perimeter of triangle XYZ

p_2 ---> the perimeter of triangle PQR

so

z=\frac{p_1}{p_2}

The perimeter of triangle PQR is

p_2=5+10+6=21\ cm

we have

z=6\\p_2=21\ cm

substitute

6=\frac{p_1}{21}

p_1=6(21)=126\ cm

therefore

The perimeter of triangle XYZ is 126 cm

1=x-8
add 8 to both sides
9=x

checking that it works
1=9-8
1=1
so 9=x
