Answer:

16 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of sweet that Sekhar had = x

Sweets given to Renu = (1/4) of x = $\frac{1}{4}x$

Sweets given to Raji = 5

Remaining sweets = 7

$x = \frac{1}{4}x +5 + 7\\\\x -\frac{1}{4}x = 12\\\\\frac{4*x}{1*4}x-\frac{1}{4}x = 12\\\\\frac{4x}{4}-\frac{1}{4}x= 12\\\\\frac{3x}{4}=12\\\\x = 12*\frac{4}{3}\\\\x=4*4\\\\x=16$

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,7) and is parallel to the line shown ( please help !! )

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$y=2x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first need to determine the slope of the line shown.

We know that it passes through the two points (-2, -2) and (1, 4).

Thus, we can use the slope formula to find the slope between the two points:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let (-2, -2) be (x₁, y₁) and let (1, 4) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-(-2)}{1-(-2)}=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Hence, the slope of the original line was 2.

Since we want the new line to be parallel, the slope of the new line must also be 2.

We know that the slope is 2 and it passes through the point (2, 7).

So, we can use the point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We will substitute 2 for m. We will also let (2, 7) be (x₁, y₁). Substitute:

$y-7=2(x-2)$

Solve for y. Distribute the right:

$y-7=2x-4$

Add 7 to both sides. Hence, our equation is:

$y=2x+3$

A prism is dilated by a factor of 1.5. How many times larger is the volume of the resulting prism than the volume of the origina

Margarita [4]

By the term dilated we mean to say that the dimensions of the new polyhedron is increase to a certain size by that times. For the volume, this dilation scale should be cubed in order to determine the number of times the volume of new figure is larger than the original.
r = (1.5)³
= 3.375
Thus, the volume of the new prism is 3.375 times larger than the volume of the original prism.
