Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar figures have sides that are proportional. Setting up a proportion for the sides of the figures will help solve for 'x':
Cross-multiply: 3(x + 1) = 6(x - 3)
Distribute: 3x + 3 = 6x - 18
Combine like terms: 21 = 3x
Solve for 'x': x = 7
If the marker is 0.13cm, then it is 13 millimeters.
Substitute y in the first equation.
-8x = -x - 14
+x +x
-7x = -14
-7x/-7 = -14/-7
x = 2
Now solve for y.
y = -18(2)
y = -36
Answer: (2, -36) or y = -36 and x = 2
There are 7 days in a week. If you add 7 three times, you get 21, which means that three weeks equals 21 days, which is less than 24
