If the scale factor is 1 1/2, then we can multiply x's corresponding side by 1 1/2 to get x.
The corresponding side is 2, so 2 * 1 1/2 is 3, making x = 3.
The third one is right i think
Answer:
x=5, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
You simply write down what you see:
3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17
2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9
Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:
7x - 9y = 17
5x - 8y = 9
Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:
35x - 45y = 85
-35x + 56y = -63
-------------------------+ now we can add them:
11y = 22 divide by -11
y = 2
So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5
Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:
3*5 - 4*2 = 7
4*5 - 5*2 = 10
7+10 = 17: ok!
2*5 - 3*2 = 4
3*5 - 5*2 = 5
4+5 = 9: ok!
Metric system is based on powers of 10
Explanation: In my notes you’ll see the formula for how to find slope under “Formulas”.
How to use this formula: In the first graph you have points (2,3) and (6,8)
So y2 would be 8, and y1 would be 3.
x2 would be 6, and x1 would be 2.
1. Sub points into formula
2. subtract y2 by y1
3. Subtract x2 by x1
4. Divide top by bottom
And you’ve got your slope! (Rise/run)
