B is the correct answer, -1.
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

It would be -8 because x is equal to 1 so if you do 1 - 9 it would equal -8

Triangle and triangle are similar. What is the measure of side ?

snow_lady [41]

When two triangles are similar, they're sides are in proportion.

In order to find the unknown side, we first have to find the ratio of the larger triangle to the smaller triangle.

We can use the sides TV and LN to make the proportion.

$\frac{LN}{TV}$ = $\frac{21}{6}$

The ratio between the two triangles is 21:6

Now we can solve for the unknown side.

$\frac{21}{6}$ = $\frac{LM}{8}$

Cross multiply:

8 * 21 = 6 * LM

168 = 6LM

Divide both sides by 6:

LM = 28

The unknown side's length is 28 centimeters

Good luck!

There are 1500 bees in a colony. Each month, the number of bees decreases by 12%. There are 800 flowering plants in a garden. Ea

Evgen [1.6K]

So the answer to this question is:

A= bees: f(t) = 1500 × (0.88)∧t
plants: g(t) = 800 - 25×t

B: (Bees) 1500 × (0.88)∧6= 696.60
After 6 months (696 bees ):
800 - 25×6 = 650 (Flowering Plants)
After 6 months:
650 flowering plants

C: 1500 × (0.88)∧t=800 - 25×t
t = 6.779965672

Answer is it will take 7 months or 6 for the bees and the plants.
Hope this helps!
