12+6x was subtracted from the left but only 12 was subtracted from the right.
6x and 6 are not equal unless x=1
X=-11/15
Y = -1
It is an isosceles trapezoid, which is just as well, otherwise it could not reflect onto itself. The line of reflection is the same as the mirror line which is the same as the axis of symmetry.
It runs horizontally exactly through the middle of the shape.
All horizontal lines have the equation y = a value
In this case the line is <span>y=−<span>1</span></span>
x + y = 3.36 --> the boys are splitting $3.36
x = 3y - .12 --> one boy received $.12 less than 3 times as much as the other
--> substitute the second equation for the x in the first equation
(3y - .12) + y = 3.36 --> combine like terms
4y - .12 = 3.36 --> add .12 to both sides of the equation
4y = 3.48 --> divide both sides by 4
y = .87
the other boy gets $0.87
substitute into x = 3y - 12
x = 3(.87) - .12
x = 2.61 - .12
x = 2.49
the first boy gets $2.49
Answer:
x=6.42
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by 5.35.
x=1.2×5.35
Simplify 1.2×5.35 to 6.42.
x=6.42
Infinitely many, but they will all be proportional to each other
