Been a while since I've done this, but I think I remember what to do here:
The main technique is called "rise over run." The first number, the rise, is how far up the next dot on the right should be. The other number, the run, is how many spaces right the dot should be at. 1+(-2)=-1 and 8+3=11. The next dot on the right should be placed at (11,-1). If you're looking on the left, replace the addition with subtraction. 1-(-2)=3 and 8-3=5. The dot on the left should be (5,3). This means that the three dots on the slope are, in order, (5,3), (1,8), and (11,-1). To find the numbers after the third dot and before the first dot, simply repeat their respective equations.
I hope my memory was correct. Lol
Set up a ratio:
10 foot tall elephant / X shadow length = 15 foot tall statue / 18 foot shadow.
Cross multiply:
10 * 18 = X * 15
Simplify:
180 = 15x
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 180 / 15
x = 12
The elephants shadow was 12 feet long.
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
18.
Explanation:
There were 303 people surveyed total.
There were 64 people with brown eyes and black hair; that makes the percentage of the population 64/303 = 21.12% ≈ 21%.
There were 9 people with blue eyes and black hair; that makes the percentage of the population 9/303 = 2.97% ≈ 3%.
This means the percentage of students with brown eyes and black hair was greater than the percentage of students with blue eyes and black hair by:
21-3 = 18%.
-2/3x+9=4/3x-3
+3 +3
-2/3x+12=4/3x
+2/3x +2/3x
12=6/3x
12=2x
x=6
x=6
