Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:
a-7=2
Add 7 to both sides:
a-7+7=2+7
a=9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
the y coordinate is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the directed line segment is shown.
J is located at (-3, 1) and K is located at (-8, 11)
run: x2 -x1 = -8 - (-3) = -5
rise: y2 - y1 = 11 - 1 = 10
Taking J as reference, the coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to k into a ratio of 2:3 is:
c = 2/(2+3) = 0.4
(x1 + c*run, y1 + c*rise)
(-3 + 0.4*-5, 1+0.4*10)
(-5, 5)
Distance between -4 and -3 is 1 and there is no distance between 0
Answer: 122.5
======================================================
Explanation:
First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.
The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x
(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2
x/35 = 7/2
x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply
2x = 245
2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x = 122.5
The perimeter of figure A is 122.5
