Hello,

First of all,
C. and D. are both incorrect because they apply translations to ABC; translations will misalign ADE with ABC.

Next,
A. is incorrect because a dilation of 1/2 will place D at (0,3) from its original point of (0,2). Also, the dilation will place E at (6,0) from its original point of (4,0). The triangle ADE would be too small to map ABC.

Finally,

B. Is the correct answer because a dilation of 2 will place D at (0,4)—where B is—and will place E at (8,0), where C is.
Choice B. maps ADE onto ABC

Sorry for that much information, but I think it’s useful. XD

How do I solve it because it’s really difficult

The solution of the equation is x= 3 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

-3x-4y = -17 and

-x-3y = -9

The system of equation can be rewritten as

3x+4y = 17 ------eq 1 and

x+3y = 9 ------ eq 2

To solve for x and y

Multiplying eq 2 by 3 we get,

3x + 9y = 27

or, 3x = 27-9y

Putting this value of x into eq 1 we get,

27-9y +4y = 17

or, -5y = 17-27

or, -5y = -10

or, y = 2

Now put y=2 in eq 2 we get,

x = 9 - 3(2)

= 3

Hence the solution is x = 3 and y = 2

8(3 – 2x)+ 4(3x – 2)=-16 <br>Can someone solve for x? please

castortr0y [4]

Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

8(3-2x) + 4(3x - 2) = -16

expanding the equation , we have

24 - 16x +12x - 8 = -16

16 - 4x = -16

collecting the like terms

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8

Will mark brainliest

Anna007 [38]

Answer: $x\leq 3$

PLEASE MARK ME BRAINLIEST

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify both sides of the inequality:

$4x+8\geq 5x+5$

2) Subtract $5x$ from both sides:

$4x+8-5x\geq 5x+5-5x$

3) Simplify:

$-x+8\geq 5$

4) Subtract $8$ from both sides:

$-x+8-8\geq 5-8$

5) Simplify:

$-x\geq -3$

6) Divide both sides by $-1$ :

$\frac{-x}{-1} =\frac{-3}{-1}$

7) Simplify:

$x\leq -3$
