Me charles cut fresh roses from his garden and gave 10 roses to his neighbor then he gave half of what was left to his niece he kept the remaining 14 roses how many roses did he cut

He cut 38 roses

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

x will be the number of roses that he cut.

He gave 10 to his neighbor: x-10

And gave half of what was left to his niece: (x-10)/2

He kept the remaining 14 roses: (x-10)/2=14

(x-10)/2=14

solving for x

x-10 =14(2)

x-10 = 28

x =28+10

x =38

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

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
