The trick is to recognize a few things.

1. These are similar triangles, so the ratio of BU to BC is the same as BT to BA and UT to CA.

    \dfrac{BU}{BC}=\dfrac{BT}{BA}=\dfrac{UT}{CA}

2. BC = 2 BUs and BA = 2 BTs

This means the sides of the short triangle are half the length of the sides of the big triangle.

Put in other words, CA = 2 UT

Put into an equation x+29 = 2(x+19).

   x + 29 = 2x + 38

        –9  = x

So that means UT = 10 and CA = 20

On a scale model of a building, 14 inch represents 38 foot. What length on the model represents 1 foot?
enot [183]
We are given that 14 inch represent 38 foot.
To know the model length that represents 1 foot, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
14 inch ..............> 38 foot
?? inch .............> 1 foot
length on model = (1*14) / 38
length on model = 7/19 inch = 0.36842 inch

Use the substitution method to solve the given system of equations. Write your answer as an ordered pair, (x, y).
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the second equation, we can easily rearrange it to make x the subject.

x - 4y = 5

x = 4y + 5

Now lets put that into the second equation

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y + 5) - 2y = -2

6y + 10 = -2

6y = -12

y = -2

Now lets find x!

x = 4y + 5

x = 4(-2) + 5

x = -3

Now lets format the answer like the question says (ordered pair)

(-3, -2)

Recap: We used substitution and made an equation to work out one of the variables first, then found the second variable using the first.

A theatre has seats arranged in rows of 24, 382 people attend a show at the theatre. What is the smallest number of rows that is
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A minimum of 16 rows are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of rows minimum that could seat 382 people in rows of 24 seats.

Mathematically, what we need to do here is to make a division.

We shall divide the number of people by the number of seats in a row so that we can get the number of rows needed.

Mathematically, that would be; 382/24 = 15 22/24

We are looking at a minimum number.

So we can see that 15 rows will be filled, with an extra 22 seats in the next row leaving only 2 seats in the next row unoccupied.

So we can see that the minimum number of rows required is 16 rows
