in three plays of a football game, there is a gain of 4 yards, a loss of 9 yards, and a gain of 15 yards. What number can you us

Aloiza [94]

We can use minus(-) sign i.e. -9 to represent loss of 9 yards.

<h3>Write the difference between gain and loss.</h3>

The word “gain” implies “acquiring something”.

Gain means to acquire something one desires especially because of one’s efforts.

Gain means to get something additional, for example, to gain more speed, to gain more weight.

We can denote gain by using plus(+) sign before the given number.

“Loss” generally means “to lose something one already has.”

Loss means the deprivation from keeping something, for example, bearing the loss of a theft.

It refers to something which is lost, for example, the theft of jewelry was a great loss.

We can denote loss by using minus(-) sign before the number.

In the given question it is said that there is gain of 4 yards, loss of 9 yards and gain of 15 yards.

It is asked that how would we represent 9 yards loss.

We know that we use minus(-) sign to represent loss.

So we can represent loss of 9 yards by writing it as -9.

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ,2. 25. Point Q is the center of dilation. Line

abruzzese [7]

The distance between points S' and S is x= 2.5 units.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ 2. 25.

Point Q is the center of dilation.

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S prime T prime.

The length of QT is 1. 2 and the length of QS is 2.

The length of SS prime is x and the length of TT prime is 1. 5.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What is x, the distance between points S' and S?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

Line segment ST is dilated to create line segment S'T' using the dilation rule DQ, 2.25.

Also, SQ = 2 units, TQ = 1.2 units, TT'=1.5, SS' = x.

Since the line ST is dilated to S'T' with the center of dilation Q, the triangles STQ and S'T'Q must be similar.

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

So, from ΔSTQ and ΔS'T'Q.

$\dfrac{SQ}{S'Q} = \dfrac{TQ}{T'Q}\\
\\
\dfrac{SQ}{SQ+SS} = \dfrac{TQ}{TQ+TT'}\\
\\ 
\dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{1.2}{1.2+1.5}\\\rm 
\\
\dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{1.2}{2.7}\\\\ \dfrac{2}{2+x} = \dfrac{12}{27}\\\\2(27) = (2+x) 12\\\\ 54 = 24 + 12x\\
\\
12x = 54-24\\
\\
12x=30\\
\\
x = \dfrac{30}{12}\\
\\
x = 2.5$

Hence, the distance between points S' and S is x= 2.5 units.

PLEASE HELP ME ! (I AM TERRIBLE AT MATH)

Mashutka [201]

It looks as though there are 25 21-40 year-olds. 40% of 25 is 10, this is the amount that are AGAINST the increase. Therefore the ones in favor for the increase must be 25 - 10 = 15.

You should be able to follow the same process to get the 41-60 year-olds against an increase. Just be sure to read the given information carefully
