How does a scale factor change the size of a figure?
2 answers:
The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).
3 x 6 = 18
The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.

Answer:
(1 , 2
)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
7x - y = 7 → (1)
x + 2y = 6 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term
14x - 2y = 14 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
15x = 20 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = =
= 1
Substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting in (2)
+ 2y = 6
2y = 6 - =
( divide both sides by 2 )
y = = 2
