Subtract the amount the drum holds by what's already in the drum.
5-1.5= 3.5 gallons
-2x - 4 = 12
add 4 to both sides of the equation
-2x = 16
divide -2 from both sides of the equation
x = -8
the new fraction: 8/3 or 2 2/3
Answer:yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the original hexagon be x:
the perimeter of the hexagon will be:
P=length*number of sides
P=6*x=6x
After the dilation the new length became:
length=scale factor × original length
=75 × x
=75x
thus the new perimeter will be:
6×75x
=450x
hence the new perimeter compared to the old one will be:
450x/6x
=75
the new perimeter is 75 times the old one
