Answer:
that scale factor is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A the side is 2.5
B the same stop as side a but its 5
so 2.5 to 5 is multiply 2
B = bees, w = wasps, x = hornets
b + w + x = 184
b = 3x - 9
w = x + 28
(3x - 9) + (x + 28) + x = 184...combine like terms
5x + 19 = 184
5x = 184 - 19
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33 <== points scored by Hornets
You can simply put the equation as 9x = 36 and divide by 9, then x = 4
Answer:
2.45, -2.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the equation has only one term in the unknown "x", we can solve for it isolating "x" on one side of the equal sign:

Which we can round to: x = - 2.45 and x = 2.45
