Answer:
1 : 36
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the scale factor, the dimensions must be in the same units.
Using the conversion
1 foot = 12 inches, then
15 feet = 15 × 12 = 180 inches, thus
scale factor = 5 : 180 ← divide both parts by 5
scale factor = 1 : 36
50/1000 = 0.05 times is the answer
(2x + 2) = (3x + -52)
Reorder the terms:
(2 + 2x) = (3x + -52)
Remove parenthesis around (2 + 2x)
2 + 2x = (3x + -52)
Reorder the terms:
2 + 2x = (-52 + 3x)
Remove parenthesis around (-52 + 3x)
2 + 2x = -52 + 3x
Solving
2 + 2x = -52 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
2 + 2x + -3x = -52 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
2 + -1x = -52 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
2 + -1x = -52 + 0
2 + -1x = -52
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1x = -52 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x = -52 + -2
-1x = -52 + -2
Combine like terms: -52 + -2 = -54
-1x = -54
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 54
Simplifying
x = 54
