Answer: No. He's wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tool box has the dimensions of 10 in by 4 in by 7 in. The volume will be:

= 10 × 4 × 7

= 280in³

When the dimensions are doubled, the new dimensions will be:

10 in = 10in × 2 = 20in

4in = 4in × 2 = 8 in

7in = 7in × 2 = 14in

The volume will now be:

= 20 × 8 × 14

= 2240in³

He is wrong, the volume isn't the double of the former tool box. The double of the former tool box will give (280in³ × 2) = 560in³. This is different from the new volume.

Write the following proportion using colons. 7 is to 21 as 3 is to 9.
eduard
This is how proportion is written 7:21=3:9. The colons are sign of division so it can be shown in the terms of fraction as 7/21=3/9 or 1/3=1/3

Solve for x mathematics
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

9 / 6 = (2x - 6) / 4 (by the side splitter theorem)

6(2x - 6) = 36

12x - 36 = 36

12x= 72

x = 6

Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions 4x+3y= -8 -8x-6y= 16
cupoosta [38]

\begin{cases} 4x+3y=-8\\\\ -8x-6y=16 \end{cases}~\hspace{10em} \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

4x+3y=-8\implies 3y=-4x-8\implies y=\cfrac{-4x-8}{3}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}} x-\cfrac{8}{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -8x-6y=16\implies -6y=8x+16\implies y=\cfrac{8x+16}{-6} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{8}{-6}x+\cfrac{16}{-6}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}} x-\cfrac{8}{3}

one simple way to tell if both equations do ever meet or have a solution is by checking their slope, notice in this case the slopes are the same for both, meaning the lines are parallel lines, however, notice both equations are really the same, namely the 2nd equation is really the 1st one in disguise.

since both equations are equal, their graph will be of one line pancaked on top of the other, and the solutions is where they meet, hell, they meet everywhere since one is on top of the other, so infinitely many solutions.
