Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and larger one are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

  8/4 = (8 +(x -1))/5

  10 = x +7 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and simplify

  3 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The short segments are also proportional:

  (x -1)/(5 -4) = 8/4

  x -1 = 2 . . . . simplify

  x = 3 . . . . . . add 1

it costs $36.75 for 3 tickets to visit the science center. it costs $51 for 4 tickets to visit the zoo. which attraction will co
lord [1]

Find the cost for one ticket for the science center.

36.75 ÷ 3 = 12.25

Multiply the product with 12 to get the cost of 12 tickets.

12.25 × 12 = 147

Find the cost of 1 zoo ticket.

51 ÷ 4 = 12.75

Find the cost of 12 tickets by multiplying the product and 12

12.75 × 12 = $153

12 Science Center Tickets cost $147

12 zoo tickets cost $153


The <u><em>Zoo</em></u> costs more than the Science Center.


To find out how much more the Zoo costed, subtract 147 from 153.

153 - 147 = 6

The zoo only costs <u><em>$6 </em></u>more for 12 students.

So, you're answers are Zoo and $6

ELEN [110]
The closer the points are/more uniform they are to the residual line, the better the fit.  The more skewed and scattered they are, the model is a worse fit.

slava [35]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can just try and find what works! since we can subtract 12 from -2 and get -14, we might try subtracting 12 every time. After we test it out, we see that is is correct!
