Answer:

Simplification of the given expression gives value of x = 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is 3(x-4)+5x=9x-36

Now, by DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A ( B - C ) = AB - AC

Simplifying the given expression step by step ,we get:

3(x-4)+5 x = 9 x - 36 ⇒ 3(x) - 3(4) + 5x = 9x - 36

or, 3x - 12 + 5x = 9x - 36

⇒ 8x - 9x = -36 + 12

or, - x = - 24

⇒ x = 24

Hence, the the simplification of the given expression, the value of x = 24.

The scale factor of dilation is $\LARGE \frac{1}{4}$ .

<h3>What is scale factor?</h3>

When describing an enlargement you must state by how much the shape has been enlarged or reduced.

Area of triangle B = $\frac{1}{2} * b *h$

= 0.5 x 2 x 3

= 3 units

Area of triangle A = $\frac{1}{2} * b *h$

= 0.5 x 4 x 6

= 12 units

Scale factor = $\frac{Area of \; triangle B}{Area of\; triangle A}$

= $\frac{3}{12}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, the scale factor of dilation is $\LARGE \frac{1}{4}$ .
