If Triangle ABC~ triangle DEC, find the value of x and the scale factor from DEC to ABC

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = =

Then

= = ( cross- multiply )

4(3x - 2) = 10x

12x - 8 = 10x ( subtract 10x from both sides )

2x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d

the first term is 6.

the common difference d = ?

when you find d, replace n with 7 and d with the common difference to find your answer.
