Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 3

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 1 + 2/x:

1 + 2/x = 3

Bring 1 + 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x + 2)/x = 3

Multiply both sides by x:

x + 2 = 3 x

Subtract 3 x + 2 from both sides:

-2 x = -2

Divide both sides by -2:

Answer: x = 1

Theo bought 2 hot dogs and two drinks for $4.00. At the same concession stand, Vicky bought 3 hot dogs and a drink for $4.50. Wr

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The hot dog are $2.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Hot Dogs = H

Drinks = D

2H + 2D = 4

Divide both sides by 2

H + D = 2

Subtract D from either side

H = 2 -D

3H + D = 4.50

Plug in 2 - D for H

3(2- D ) + D = 4.50

6 - 3D + D = 4.50

6 - 4D = 4.50

Add 6 to either side

-4D = 10.50

Divide either side by -4

D = -2 . 625

Answer:

Part a) $AB=15\ cm$

Part b) $AB=11.1\ cm$

Part c) $AB=3/5\ cm$

Part d) $AB=3s\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the question

we know that

To find the length of the image after a dilation, multiply the length of the pre-image by the scale factor

Part a) we have

The scale factor is 5

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(5)=15\ cm$

Part b) we have

The scale factor is 3.7

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(3.7)=11.1\ cm$

Part c) we have

The scale factor is 1/5

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(1/5)=3/5\ cm$

Part d) we have

The scale factor is s

The length of the pre-image is 3 cm

therefore

The length of the image AB after dilation is

$3(s)=3s\ cm$
