Answer:
4.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the two fugures in the question above are similar, it means they have the same shape, even though they are if different sizes, the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional. Thus,
18/x = 8/2
Let's solve for x as required.
We have,
18/x = 8/2
=>Cross multiply:
18 × 2 = 8 × x
36 = 8x
=>Divide both sides by 8
36/8 = x
4.5 = x
x = 4.5 ft
The first option is our answer = 4.5 ft
Let S be the amount in a savings account.
Let m be the number of months.
General equation
S = 132 + 27m
Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321
Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
Answer: finding slope (-4, 1), (1,-2) : m= -3/5
Answer:
Train A = 299 tons Train B = 50 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
Train A = x
Train B = y
x+y = 349
x= y +249
Plug in one equation into another
y+249+y= 349
Simplify
2y+249=349
Subtract 249 from both sides
2y=100
Divide both sides by 2
y=50
Plug it into the x equation to solve for x
x+50=349
-50 from both sides
x=299
