2x/7 = 12/14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
2x = 84/14
Simplify:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2 and your answer is....
x = 3
Answer: You would put the 35° and the 4x+7° equal to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4x+7=35
2. 4x+7=35 -> Subtract 7 from the positive 7 and the 35
-7 -7
3. 4x=28 -> Divide 4x and 28
4. x=7
<u><em>Answers:</em></u>
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>For shapes to be similar:</u>
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape
Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes
<u>Let's check the choices:</u>
<u>1- </u><span><u>The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:</u>
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides
<u>2- </u></span><span><u>The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:</u>
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles
<u>3- </u></span><span><u>The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:</u>
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image
<u>4- </u></span><span><u>The image is a reduction of the pre-image:</u>
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced
<u>5- </u></span><span><u>Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:</u>
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)
<u>6- </u></span><u>The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:</u>
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position
Hope this helps :)
The answer is B. The next crayon Laura picks is NOT red.
