You can make a proportion of 8/20 to 42/x and then simply cross multiply from there to solve for y
The student messed up on step one. The proper factoring is (x-4) (x+2)
Answer:
The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)
solve and get
(2.5,17.5)
or x= 2.5 y=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x
7x-x=15
6x=15
x=2.5
Then we can solve for y
y=7(2.5)
y=17.5
Answer:
x=15 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the parallelograms are equal (I assume they are), then the ratios are the same. 12 is 3/4 of 16. 3/4 of 20 is 15.
Answer:
Infinitely many
Step-by-step explanation:
12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2
12x + 1 = 12x + 3 - 2
12x + 1 = 12x + 1
Both sides are equal for all x, so infinite solutions
