A contestant in a weight-loss competition wants to lose an average of at least 8 pounds per month during a five-month period. Based on the progress report, how many pounds must the contestant lose in the fifth month to meet the goal? Must include a let statement and expression. In the first month the contestant lost 12 pounds in the 2nd they lost 9 in the 3rd lost 5 and in the 5th lost 8.

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

yo answer should be 6 if im not mistaken

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
