2 is the answer as ‘quotient’ means the number divided by the other number.
Ok so the numbers are in a sequence of +3 so he would go 2,5,8,11,14. He could only have 5 groups of marbles because 2+5+8+11+14=40
Number 2 is not an equation.
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What does the information want:</u>
<u>Let's gather some information</u>:
- ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles
⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles
⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel
lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the
same line AB
⇒ by the <em>Angle-Angle Theorem*</em>, they are similar triangles
<u>If they are similar triangles</u>:
⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other
⇒ let's set up a proportion

⇒ let's set up a proportion

<u>Answer:</u>
- <u>x= 17.143</u>
- <u>y = 26.25</u>
Hope that helps!
