He uses 2/3 of a gallon each hour he works.
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the triangle are similar, they possess a proportional relationship in which the one triangle's side length is dilated by a unknown factor (y) to make its corresponding counterpart. Using this knowledge we can make the following two equations
3y=7 & xy=x+2 y is the variable representing the dilation factor
y=7/3 find the value of y
x(7/3)=x+2 substitute the value y into the equation
7/3x =x+2 solve for x
4/3x =2
(3/4)(4/3x)=2(3/4) multiply by the reciprocal
x=1.5
Yo sup??
No I don't agree with Richard because the shaded area represents
2/6=1/3
and not 1/6 as there are 2 boxes shaded out of all 6.
Hope this helps
-3x+4=15
-3x=15-4
-3x=11
x= -11/3
4(-11/3)-y= -19
-44/3-y= -19
-y= -19+44/3 multiply by (-1)
y=19-44/3
y=19•3/3-44/3
y=57/3-44/3
y=13/3
(x,y)=(-11/3, 13/3)
