Answer: choice C) 15</h3>
Simplify the left side to get
2(4+x)+(13+x)
2(4)+2(x) +13+x
8+2x+13+x
3x+21
------------
So the original equation
2(4+x)+(13+x) = 3x+k
turns into
3x+21 = 3x+k
------------
Subtract 3x from both sides
3x+21 = 3x+k
3x+21-3x = 3x+k-3x
21 = k
k = 21
-----------
If k = 21, then the original equation will have infinitely many solutions. This is because we will end up with 3x+21 on both sides, leading to 0 = 0 after getting everything to one side. This is a true equation no matter what x happens to be.
If k is some fixed number other than 21, then there will be no solutions. This equation is inconsistent (one side says one thing, the other side says something different). If k = 15, then
3x+21 = 3x+k
3x+21 = 3x+15
21 = 15 .... subtract 3x from both sides
The last equation is false, so there are no solutions here.
note: if you replace k with a variable term, then there will be exactly one solution.
2.25*x=10
Which x is the number of books purchased
Solve for x
X=10÷2.25
X=4.44
Answer:
1. Dilate ΔABE by a factor of 2/5 to make ΔA'B'E'
2. Translate A' to Q
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice the triangles have the same orientation, so no reflection or rotation is involved. The desired mapping can be accomplished by dilation and translation:
1. Dilate ΔABE by a factor of 2/5 to make ΔA'B'E'
2. Translate A' to Q
The result will be that ΔA"B"E" will lie on top of ΔQRT, as required.
A number is rational if it can be written as the ratio of two integers.
The ratio of two integers is a fraction, and you just did it. Your number
is the ratio of 1 to 8 . It's about as rational as you can get.
<span>Here's a fun fact that's easy to remember:
<em>ANY</em> number that you can write down on paper, completely,
with digits
and a decimal point or a fraction bar if you need them, is
rational.</span>
