Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of years since the first year and let y = the total number of plants.
Roses: y = 5 + 2x
Tulips: y = 20 – 3x
You can use elimination to solve.
y = 5 + 2x
(-)y = 20 – 3x
0 = -15 + 5x
15 = 5x
3 = x
This means that 3 years after the first year, the number of rose bushes equals the number of tulip plants.
The graphs appear to
intersect at (3, 11) which verifies that x=3
When comparing decimals, start in the tenths place. The decimal with the biggest value there is greater. If they are the same, move to the hundredths place and compare these values. If the values are still the same keep moving to the right until you find one that is greater or until you find that they are equal.
Answer:
B) 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the first figure is 10x
The area of the second figure is 6(x+3)=6x+18
To solve, find the x that makes 10x=6x+18
1) 10x=6x+18
2) 4x=18
3) x=4.5
To check work)
1) 10(4.5)=6(4.5)+18
2) 45=27+18
3) 45=45
Answer:
It's 1/2,-2 just did the math.

Answer: 0.5</h3>
This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2
==============================================================
Explanation:
The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.
|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3
or
|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3
We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.
--------------------------
The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...
|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5
or
|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5
The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.
We can say A'B' = 1.5
---------------------------
Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k
k = (A'B')/(AB)
k = (1.5)/(3)
k = 0.5
0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.
The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.
