You'll need to post the polynomial itself. The degree will be the highest exponent, the leading coefficient will be the number in front of the variable of the term with the highest exponent, then count the number of terms separated by + and - signs.
Answer: Enlargement
Step-by-step explanation: If the number is larger than 1 it is an enlargement if it is smaller it is a reduction.
First we expand the brackets:
-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36
We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:
4a = 28
We can then divide to get an x by itself:
a = 28/4 = 7
I believe the answer is D
