Answer:
D 5
Step-by-step explanation:
the same scaling factor s applies to all sides when transforming from the small to the large triangle.
x×s = x + 5
(x-2)×s = x +1
=> s = (x+5)/x
=> (x-2)×(x+5)/x = x + 1
=> x² + 3x - 10 = x² + x
=> 3x - 10 = x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 5
Now, If the exponent was negative like you asked....
Sorry it’s a bit messy, hope this helps
12.5 yds at 4.50 per yd : 12.5 * 4.50 = 56.25....what she paid for the fabric
she uses 2.5 yds of fabric for each dog bed.....12.5 / 2.5 = 5...so she can make 5 dog beds
each dog bed sells for 17.50.....5 * 17.50 = 87.50
87.50 (what she earned from selling the dog beds) - 56.25 (the cost of the fabric) = 31.25......so her total profit is $ 31.25 <==
