Lets count...
3a...thats 1 term
3ab...thats 2
7b....thats 3
-2c....movin on up to 4
-4d....and we end at 5
so this expression has 5 terms since none of the terms can be combined :)
Answer: 37

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 4x:4x:7x, if we add all those numbers up we get 15. Then we do 75/15 to get what x equals. So we get 5. So x equals 5. Following the rules of multiplication, you do 4(5):4(5):7(5), and simplifying that further, you get 20:20:35. If we add all those values up, we should get 75, and we do!
If you're wondering why I did 4x:4x:7x instead of 4:4:7, it's because a ratio is just a...well ratio? It's easier to visualize if you put a variable because the variable could be anything, and you would have to multiply all the given values to get the same proportions. In summery, I did it so it was easier to visualize
Step-by-step explanation:
x -0.1x = x(1-0.1) = 0.9x
Use <em>CPCTC</em> and make ratios and proportionalities to find the value of segment PW:
If △WPJ∼△DNJ, then according to CPCTC, WP must be proportional to DN and PJ must be proportional to JN. Now, we can make a ratio:
Substitute the values that are given in the diagram.
DN=87.5
NJ=56
PJ=64

Solve for x. You can do it by cross-multiplication.
The measure of segment WP is 100 meters.
