<u>Complete Question:</u>
Janeel has a 10 inch by 12 inch photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the results by the same amount in each dimension to post on her Web site. Janeel wants the area of the image to be one eight of the original photograph. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image. Find the dimensions of the reduced image.
<u>Correct Answer:</u>
A) 
B) Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a. Write an equation to represent the area of the reduced image.
Let the reduced dimensions is by x , So the new dimensions are

According to question , Area of new image is :
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
So the equation will be :
⇒ 
b. Find the dimensions of the reduced image
Let's solve : 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
By Quadratic formula :
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
x = 15 is rejected ! as 15 > 10 ! Side can't be negative
⇒ 
Therefore, Dimensions are : Length = 10-x = 3 inch , Breadth = 12-x = 5 inch
5x + y = -13.....multiply by -3
4x + 3y = -17
-----------------
-15x - 3y = 39 (result of multiplying by -3)
4x + 3y = -17
-----------------add
-11x = 22
x = -22/11
x = -2
5x + y = -13
5(-2) + y = -13
-10 + y = -13
y = -13 + 10
y = -3
solution (-2,-3)
Answer: Yes, Yukio is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that Triangle DEF and ABC have the same angles (they do because they are right-angled), we can take the length from the larger triangle (DEF) and divide it by the length of the smaller triangle (ABC).
Length of DEF = 6cm
Length of ABC = 2cm
= 6/2
= 3
Proves that scale of DEF to ABC is 3:1
Answer:
a) green: 0.3
yellow: 0.1
b) 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Unfortunately, I cant write on the table. But, I CAN help you with this question.
Since all probabilities have to add up to one, we can for an equation like this
(where y is yellow)
0.35+0.25+3y+y=1
This simplified is
0.6+4y=1
4y=0.4
So, we now know that green is 0.3, and yellow is 0.1.
For b, we set 0.35x to 14. Dividing gives us:
14/0.35=1400/35=40.
Multiply 0.3 by 40, and you get 12.
Hope this helped!
