Carlos has $24, which is 1 1/3 as much money as Luisa has. How much money does Luisa have?
2 answers:
Answer:
Luisa has $18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ Carlos has $24
∵ Carlos has 1 as much money as Luisa has
→ Let Luisa has x dollars
∵ Luisa has x dollars
∴ Carlos money = 1 × x
∴ Carlos money = 1 x
→ Change the mixed number to an improper fraction
∵ 1 =
=
∴ Carlos money = x
→ Substitute the Carlos money by 24
∵ 24 = x
→ Multiply both sides by 3
∵ 24 × 3 = 4x
∴ 72 = 4x
→ Divide both sides by 4
∴ 18 = x
∴ Luisa has $18

The transformation was a reflection over the line x = -0.5
And the image and preimage can be seen in the graph below.
<h3>How to identify the preimage and image?</h3>
First, the original vertices are:
L(3, 3)
M(2, 4)
N(-1, 0)
3 vertices means that our figure is a triangle.
Now, the transformed vertices are:
L'(2, -5)
M'(3, -4)
N'(-1, 1)
And the graph of both sets can be seen below.
Now we can try to identify the transformation.
Now, notice that all the points (L, M, N, L', N', M') are equidistant to the horizontal line x = -0.5
This is a clear implication that the transformation was a reflection over the line x = -0.5
