Answer:

The value of x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio between length and width is given by:

\frac{L}{W}=\frac{5}{3}

Where:

  • L represents the new length
  • W represents the new width

Now, we know that each dimension is reduced by x inches, it means:

L=18-x

W=12-x

Then, we will have:

\frac{18-x}{12-x}=\frac{5}{3}

Finally, we just need to solve it for x.  

3(18-x)=5(12-x)

5x-3x=60-54

2x=6

x=3

<u>Therefore, the value of </u><u>x = 3.</u>

I hope it helps you!

What is the equation of the line in standard form?
belka [17]

Answer:

y = 6x + 4 \\ slop = 6 \\ y - y0 = slop(x - x0) \\ y - ( - 8) = 6 \times (x - 1) \\ y + 8 = 6x - 6 \\ y = 6x - 6 - 8 = 6x - 14

What is the relationship between the line of reflection and rhe segment connecting a point on the preimage with its correspondin
dimaraw [331]
The segment connecting a point on the preimage  is equal to the segment connecting the point with its corresponding point on the image. Hence the relationship between the line of reflection is B. perpendicular bisector. It is not necessarily perpendicular as there are axis of symmetry that are not linear or 180 degrees
