3 + 5x = 20 + 7x
First subtract 20 to both sides
-17 + 5x = 7x
Next subtract 5x to both sides (we are trying to get x all in one side)
-17 = 2x
Divide 2 to isolate the x
-17/2 = x or -8.5 = x
Answer:
Give me these points
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 37+20x=117. 2. -37 on both sides
3. 20x=80. 4. Divide 20 by 80. 5. X=4
2 is the answer to your question
The similar circles P and Q can be made equal by dilation and translation
- The horizontal distance between the center of circles P and Q is 11.70 units
- The scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q is 2.5
<h3>The horizontal distance between their centers?</h3>
From the figure, we have the centers to be:
P = (-5,4)
Q = (6,8)
The distance is then calculated using:
d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
So, we have:
d = √(6 + 5)^2 + (8 - 4)^2
Evaluate the sum
d = √137
Evaluate the root
d = 11.70
Hence, the horizontal distance between the center of circles P and Q is 11.70 units
<h3>The scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q</h3>
We have their radius to be:
P = 2
Q = 5
Divide the radius of Q by P to determine the scale factor (k)
k = Q/P
k = 5/2
k = 2.5
Hence, the scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q is 2.5
