Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If ΔMNO ≅ ΔPST, their corresponding sides must also be ≅(congruent).
NO is corresponds to TS, thus sides NO and side TS are ≅.
=> 20 = 3x - 7
=> 3x = 27
=> x = 9
First let's reduce the feet to miles
there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore
26400 feet=5 miles
31680 feet=6 miles
Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles
Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles
We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.
slope: 6/120=?=5/96
1/20=?=5/96
Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.
so 1/20<5/96
So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.
As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.
In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!
Answer: The correct answer is (A) - 60/7 :)
Step-by-step explanation: The answer is A because all of the other ones make absolutely no sense one bit at all...!
Answer:
(6,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2/3 x - 1
y=-1/2 x + 6
Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal
2/3 x - 1 =-1/2 x + 6
We have fractions, so I will multiply by 6 to clear the fractions
6(2/3 x - 1) =(-1/2 x + 6)6
Distribute
4x -6 = -3x +36
Add 3x to each side
4x+3x -6 = -3x+3x +36
7x -6 = 36
Add 6 to each side
7x-6+6 = 36+6
7x = 42
Divide each side by 7
7x/7 = 42/7
x =6
Now we need to find y
y =2/3x -1
y = 2/3(6) -1
y = 4-1
y=3
(6,3)
