Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are always equal. Therefore,

9/a = 18/6 = 6/b

✔️Let's solve for a:

9/a = 18/6

9/a = 3

Cross multiply

a*3 = 9

Divide both sides by 3

a = 9/3

a = 3

✔️Let's find b:

18/6 = 6/b

3 = 6/b

3*b = 6

b = 6/3

b = 2

Answer:

D: 768

Step-by-step explanation:

First, he divides a piece of paper in half.

$1 \div \frac{1}{2} = 2$

He gets two pieces.

Next, he cuts each of the pieces into three parts.

$2 \div \frac{1}{3} = 6$

Thirdly, he cuts each of the 6 pieces into 8 pieces.

$6 \div \frac{1}{8} = 48$

Lastly, he divides each piece into 16 parts.

$48 \div \frac{1}{16} = 768$

He has 768 pieces in the end. (D)

7(x+2)=2x-1 solve for the variable

Len [333]

Answer:

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7(x + 2) = 2x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

7x + 14 = 2x - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5x + 14 = - 1 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 3
