Scale factor = 5/3 (which is approximately equal to 1.67)x = 10========================================
Work Shown:
To find the scale factor, we divide a side of triangle MNO over a corresponding side of triangle FGH. We can only pick the horizontal bottom sides since we don't know what x is yet.
scale factor = ON/HG = 15/9 = (5*3)/(3*3) = 5/3
In decimal form, this is approximately 5/3 = 1.67; however, I find it's better to stick with the fraction since it's exact.
---------------
Let's solve for x
One way to do so is to follow these steps
(FG)/(MN) = (HG)/(ON)
6/x = 9/15
6*15 = x*9 ..... cross multiply
90 = 9x
9x = 90
x = 90/9
x = 10
Or we could solve like this
(FG)/(HG) = (MN)/(ON)
6/9 = x/15
6*15 = 9x
90 = 9x
9x = 90
x = 90/9
x = 10
We end up with the same result because we got to 90 = 9x after cross multiplying, which was found in the previous set of steps as well. There are other ways to solve using a proportion. But they should all lead to x = 10.
Note how,
MN/FG = 10/6 = (5*2)/(3*2) = 5/3
which was the scale factor we found earlier
5/3 is going to be your answer.

Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Segment lengths of each chord have the same product.
(x -2)(x +6) = 9×20
x² +4x -12 = 180
x² +4x +4 = 196 . . . . . add 16 (complete the square)

x +2 = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . positive root is the only one useful

Answer:
C. 130 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The total degrees of the interior angels of a six sided ploygon is 720, so all you need to do is add the shown angles together and subtract that number from 720:
130 + 130 + 130+ 100 + 100 = 590
720 - 590 = 130

In a regular polygon each interior angle is 140° greater than each exterior angle. Calculate the number of sides of the polygon
Answers
Answer:
18 sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior and exterior angles sum to 180 so:
I + E = 180
also I - E = 140 (given)
So, adding to eliminate E:
2I = 320
I = 160 degrees and the external angle E = 1809 - 160 = 20 degrees.
Since the sum of all exterior angles in a polygon = 360 degrees
- the number of sides = 360 / 20 = 18.

- False

Step-by-step explanation:
- Subtracting the equation will get rid of y variable therefore it's a correct and logical first step to solve the system
- The solution is indeed (-3, -3) as if we substitute these values in both equation, the equation will be correct and valid.
[tex]-2(-3)+(-3)=3[/tex] (Correct)
[tex]3(-3)+2(-3)=-15[/tex] (Correct)
- We have already determined the logical first step. Multiply by -2 will not get rid of any of the variables. Therefore, this is false.
- The solution can be written as one value since x = y = -3. Therefore, this statement is true.

Elias had 3 time as much money as munah.Elias spent $240 and munah received $60 from her brother. In the end.Elias and munah had the same amount of money.How much did elias have at first
Answers
Answer:
$450
Step-by-step explanation:
let m represent the amount of money munah has
That means elias would have 3 * m or 3m dollars.
Then, you have m + 60 = 3m - 240
solve:
[tex]m + 60 = 3m -240\\300 = 2m\\m = 150[/tex]
So munah started with $150. Since elias has 3 times as much, they have 150 * 3 = 450
