Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.

Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3

3/5 = x/3

cross multiply

3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)

3(3) = x(5)

9 = 5x

Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides

9/5 = 5x/5

x = 9/5

x = 1.8

1.8 in. is your answer

hope this helps

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.

B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

Is x=-2 a positive slope

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -2 represents a vertical line that intersects the x axis at the point (-2, 0). Since the line is vertical, the slope is undefined making it not have a positive slope.

Best of Luck!

If f(x)=-8x+8 and g(x) = sqrt x-9 what is (f•g)(18)

Serggg [28]

Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-8x+8 and g(x) = sqrt x-9

(f•g)(18)=f(g(18))

g(18)=sqrt(18-9)=sqrt9=3

f(3)=-24+8=-16
