I don't understand what you mean but this might be the answer
Let x = the number of alternative schools.
Therefore, 2x - 4 = 48.
2x -4 +4 = 48 + 4
2x = 52
x = 26
Therefore, there are 26 alternative schools(You could check this answer by substituting x=26 into the equation above.).
the complete question is
Find two numbers whose difference is 46 and whose product is a minimum
Let
x------->larger number
y-------> smaller number
P-------> product of the two numbers
we know that
-----> equation 1
-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
![P=x*[x-46]\\ P=x^{2} -46x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20P%3Dx%2A%5Bx-46%5D%5C%5C%20P%3Dx%5E%7B2%7D%20-46x%20)
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
Find the value of x for that the product P is a minimum
the vertex is the point 
that means, for 
the product is a minimum 
find the value of y

therefore
the answer is
the numbers are
and 
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
6(2) = 12
12 + 9 = 21
21/3 = 7
7 - 1 = 6 <--- Number that's she's thinking
I tested every number!
Answer:
Scale factor = 
Perimeter ratio = 4 : 9
Surface area ratio = 16 : 81
Volume ratio = 64 : 729
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume ratio = 
= 
=
= 64 : 729
Scale factor = ![\sqrt[3]{\frac{\text{volume of small prism}}{\text{Volume of large prism}}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%7Bvolume%20of%20small%20prism%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BVolume%20of%20large%20prism%7D%7D%7D)
= ![\sqrt[3]{\frac{64}{729}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B64%7D%7B729%7D%7D)
= 
Perimeter ratio = Scale factor
= 
= 4 : 9
Surface area ratio = (Scale factor)²
= 
= 
= 16 : 81
