Answer: 16 men
32 women
38 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of men in the group.
Let y represent the number if women in the group.
Let z represent the number of children in the group.
A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that
x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that
x = y/2
There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that
z = y + 6
Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86
multiplying through by 2, it becomes
y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172
5y = 172 - 12 = 160
y = 160/5 = 32
x = y/2 = 32/2
x = 16
z = y + 6 = 32 + 6
z = 38
Hi!
A is <u>FALSE</u> - If you shrink a shape, it is not increased a shape, yet it is still dilating.
B is <u>TRUE</u> - When you dilate an angle, you're really just shortening or lengthening the sides, but the angle isn't changing.
C is <u>FALSE</u> - Explained above.
D is <u>FALSE</u> - Two triangles that are congruent are <em>exactly the same, </em>therefore if you dilate a triangle, you are changing the size so they are not the same.
E is <u>TRUE</u> - Similar shapes are always the same <em>except for their size. </em>When you dilate a shape, you only change the size, therefore they are equal in every other way and they are similar.
2+4a=-10
First, subtract 2 from both sides.
4a=-12
Then divide 4 from both sides.
a=-3
hope it helps!
Answer:
16. D
17. 5^-1 · 5^-1 and 25^-1
8^0 · 8^3 and 8^3
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply two same numbers with exponents, just think of it as adding up exponents.
When you divide two same numbers with exponents, just think of it as subtracting exponents.
If a parenthesis has an exponent outside, then every exponent inside the parenthesis will be multiplied by that outside parenthesis.
(5^-1)^-2 · 5^3 ÷ 5^7
5^2 · 5^3 ÷ 5^7
5^5 ÷ 5^7
5^-2
When exponents are negative, you have to flip them or put them on the other side
5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25
Let's try to find the equivalent pairs
6^7 ÷ 6^-2 = 6^5
6^9 = 6^5 Not equivalent
(6^3)^0 = 6
6^0 = 1 (Any number with a zero exponent is always 1)
1 = 6 Not equivalent
5^-1 · 5^-1 = 25^-1
5^-2 = 25^-1
Flip em
1/5^2 = 1/25
1/25 = 1/25 Equivalent
8^0 · 8^3 = 8^3
8^3 = 8^3 Equivalent
4^-3 ÷ 4^2 = 4^5
4^-5 = 4^5 Not equivalent
