Answer:

The scale factor for the resultant rectangle is\frac{2}{5} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two rectangles with sides 3 units and 7.5 units.

We have to find the scaling factors so that we can obtain bigger rectangle of 7.5 units from smaller rectangle of 3 units.

Scale factor is defined as the ratio  of corresponding side of given figure to the corresponding side of resulting figure.

That is \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{length of side of given figure}}{\text{length of side of resulting figure}}

Here, \text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{length of side of given rectangle }}{\text{length of side of resulting rectangle}}

\text{Scale factor}=\frac{3}{7.5}=\frac{2}{5}

Hence, the scale factor for the resultant rectangle is\frac{2}{5} units.

A football team gained 9 yards on one play and then lost 22 yards on the next.Write a sum of integers to find theoverral change
anastassius [24]

Answer:

-13 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating that we start off on the middle line, we could solve this by simply looking at a number line. Moving 9 yards ahead would put us at 9. But moving  back 22 would place us at a negative number. An easy way of doing this is subtracting 9 from 22:

22 - 9 = 13

But, we already know that since the answer is to the left of zero, it will be a negative number. So we flip the sign to get -13 yards.

Answer:

Elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

You would not do substitution since it would not work so you do elimination since the 4y and -4y eliminate then you just solve for it.
