Correct answers only ! i only have two attempts on this assignment, and i cannot retake it. i've already tried the answer choice c on this question, but it was incorrect. can someone provide me the correct answer choice?
a student sketched some art on an 8.5 inch x 11 inch piece of paper. he wants to resize it to fit an 5 inch x 7 inch frame (as shown below)
what is the value of x? (hint: like step #1 of the example in class)
a. x = 5
b. x = 6
c. x = 5.41
d. x = 7

A. x= 5"

Step-by-step explanation:

ORIGINAL/NEW = 11"/7" = 8.5"/x

x = 7" x 8.5"/11" = 59.5"/11 = 5.409 ≅ 5.41"

If we wanted to keep most of the engraving, we would adjust the larger dimension, but we have been asked to adjust one dimension to 5", since it is said that C. x = 5.41 is incorrect

Then we will adjust

ORIGINAL/NEW = 11"/y = 8.5"/5"

y= 11" x 5"/8.5" = 6.47"

Then the new dimensions of the paper are 6.47" x 5" to fit an 7" x 5" frame

A. x= 5"



hi,

6x times 4 is 24x and 5 times 4 is 20, so the answer is 24x+20.

hope this and for a little humor i am groot.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
