Answer:

m=18 or m=\frac{1}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is ambiguous because you cannot tell if the equation is:

-\frac{2}{3}m=-12

or

-\frac{2}{3m} =-12

If it is the former, m=18. Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate m.

If it is the latter, m=\frac{1}{18}. Isolate m by multiplying each side by 3m, divide by -12, and then divide by 3 to isolate m.

Answer:

m = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3m = -12

multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

-2/3m(3) = -12(3)

simplify:

-2m = -36

divide both sides by -2:

-2m/-2 = -36/-2

simplify:

m = 18

Solve the literal equation cy−7=5d+3ycy−7=5d+3y for yy.
puteri [66]

We are given the equation:

cy – 7 = 5d

And we are asked to find for y.

First step, add 7 on both sides:

cy – 7 + 7 = 5d + 7

cy = 5d + 7

Next step, divide both sides by c:

cy / c = (5d + 7) / c

<span>y = (5d + 7) / c</span>

The transformations done are option A. A reflection over the y-axis, then a reflection over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we plot the points of triangle ABC and A''B''C''.

The points of triangle ABC are A (-8, -5), B(-4, -3), and C(-4,-7).

The points of triangle A''B''C'' are A'' (8, 5), B'' (4, 3), and C'' (4,7).

The points of both triangles ABC and A''B''C'' are the same values but different symbols for x and y values.

Step 2:

If a shape is reflected across an axis, the values remain the same but the symbols vary according to the quadrant.

If a shape is translated, all coordinates of all the points vary accordingly.

As triangles ABC and A''B''C'' have exactly the same coordinates it means that two reflections have occurred but no translations have occurred.

So the answer is the option with two reflections. So option A. A reflection over the y-axis, then a reflection over the x-axis is the answer.
