Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

40/16 = 2.5 scale factor that it's being enlarged by. So, 16 x 2.5 =40

45/2.5 = 18

2x + 4 = 18

- 4 both side

2x = 14

÷2 both side

x = 7

Answer:

<h2>x=7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

all the difference between these polygons is that the left one is 2.5x bigger than the one on the right (I found this out by doing 40/16 which is 2.5)

so now I need to divide 45 by 2.5

45/2.5=18

Now I know that

2x+4=18

-4 from both sides

2x=14

divide by 2

x=7

Fran has 7 sheets of paper for a colouring project. If she only uses 1/3 of a sheet of paper per drawing how many drawings can s
Sav [38]
So we can make an equation for this, being 7=1/3x, as that effectively says she can make 3 drawings per page.

Knowing this, we can multiply it by 3 to get x=21 (since if she can draw 3 drawings per page, we can imagine that if each drawing took a page she would need 3 times the pieces of paper), therefore she can make 21 drawings.

A man gathers nuts in a forest. Each time he finds a nut, there is a 20% chance it is a pecan and a 35% chance it is a walnut.
gladu [14]
Either a pecan or walnut means you add the probabilities together

20% plus 35% equals 55%
