For this, we are just going to plug in -9 for every x and then solve the equation:
Now we know that q(-9) is equal to 566.
Answer:
3/4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract Jimmys string length from Sam's string length
7 1/2 - 6 3/4
Get a common denominator of 4
7 1/2*2/2 - 6 3/4
7 2/4 - 6 3/4
Borrow 1 ( or 4/4) from the 7
6 4/4 + 2/4 - 6 3/4
6 6/4 - 6 3/4
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3a+4b)+4(2a-5b)
=9a+12b+8a-20b
=17a-8b
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure given has two similar triangles: ΔABC and ΔDEF. Although the triangles are similar, their orientation is different and ΔDEF is flipped. Since the triangles are similar, their side lengths are proportional to each other. Given the orientation of the triangles, we can still see that the diagonal (hypotenuse) for the larger triangle is AC and the smaller is DF. The only answer that matches these up proportionally is the third one. Looking at the second side, BC, we can see that this matches up to the longer leg of EF on the smaller triangle. Final answer being:
Answer:
B. Beth's age is 18 years, and Sally's age is 42 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this question in a couple of different ways. First, you can use process of elimination. You know that Sally is older than Beth because she has to be 3 times older 6 years ago, so you can get rid of options C and D because they both show Beth as being older. Now you only have A and B, and you can use a different process. Now from just looking at it, you can tell that A actually already shows Sally as 3 times Beth's age, 15 * 3 = 45. If you go to B, you can go ahead and subtract 6 from 18 (Beth's age) which will give you 12, and then multiply that by 3 to get 36. Now if you take 42 (Sally's age) and subtract 6 from it as well, you will get 36. This means that is lines up. To simplify, you are subtracting 6 from both 18 and 42, and then you are multiplying the lower number by 3 to see if it gets to the bigger number.
Hope this helped ^-^
