Rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create W'X'Y'Z'.

You did not attach any picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value W’X’ without the correct illustrations. However, I think I found the correct one (see attached), please attach it next time.
So the first thing we have to do is to calculate for the dilation factor. Taking point G as the reference point, we can see that the distance of point G from rectangle W’X’Y’Z’ is 1.5 while the distance from rectangle WXYZ is (1.5 + 7.5), therefore the dilation factor to use is:
dilation factor = 1.5 / (1.5 + 7.5) = 1.5 / 9 = 1/6
Since WX has an initial measure of 3 units, therefore the measure of W’X’ is:
W’X’ = 3 units * (1/6) = 0.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the variable when we add the two equations together.
Right now, there's a term in the first equation, and a
term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the
variable altogether and solve for
.
However, when we also have a term in the first equation and
term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the
term, leaving a
on the left-hand side of the equation.
If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get , which does not equal
, meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.
