let x=cost/lb of walnuts

let y=cost/lb of chocolate chips

..

3x+5y=16

6x+2y=22

6x+10y=32 (mult. eq by 2)

6x+2y=22

subtract:

8y=10

y=10/8=1.25

x=16-5y=9.75

cost/lb of walnuts=$1.25

cost/lb of chocolate chips=$9.75

Answer:

A dilation by a factor of three about Point T followed by a translation of two units downwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

When transforming functions, we will reflect/dilate the figure first and then translate it. This is directly from the order of operations.

Since we are trying to determine the transformation that was performed, we can try to map ΔS'T'U' onto ΔSTU. We can start by translating the figure and then determining any reflections/dilations.

First, we can translate ΔS'T'U' up two units to map T' onto T. This is represented by the black triangle in the image below. Let the black triangle be ΔS''T''U''. (T'' and T are the same point.)

Next, notice that from Point T'' to U'', we move nine units right and six units up.

From Point T to Point U, we move three units right and two units up.

Likewise, from Point T'' to S'', we move six units left and nine units up.

From Point T to Point S, we move two units left and three units up.

Therefore, to map ΔS''T''U'' onto ΔSTU, we dilate ΔS''T''U'' about Point T by a factor of 1/3.

Hence, by reversing the transformations, to acquire ΔS'T'U', we can see that we will dilate ΔSTU by a factor of three about Point T and then a perform a translation of two units downwards.

4. Describe the proportion method for solving a percentage problem:
kondor19780726 [428]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the proportion method first set up the equation like this:

\frac{Part}{Whole}=\frac{Percentage}{100}

Perform the cross multiplication and then solve for the missing part.

For example:

Find 80 percentage of 10.

Step 1: Set up the equation.

\frac{Part}{10}=\frac{80}{100}

\frac{Part}{10}=\frac{4}{5}

Step 2: Perform the cross multiplication

Part=\frac{4}{5}\times 10

Step 3: Solve for the missing part.

Part=4 \times 2

Part=8
