So ur going from a smaller shape to a larger shape....means the scale factor is more then 1. The scale factor is the number that u multiply the original shape by to get the other shape.
so lets look at DE...it is 2.....and D'E' is 6
so 2 * x = 6...with ur scale factor being x
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3.....so the scale factor is 3....because multiplying the original shape by 3, gives u the other shape
3y+21+8y
11y+21 is the answer
C= two step equations require all number to be whole number in order to solve.
Here is an example that disproves that:
.5x + 8= 18
<u> -8 -8</u>
<u>.5</u>x = <u>10
</u>.5 .5
x = 20 (.5 is certainly not a whole number but I solved it anyway)
