Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Eliminate parentheses:
0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x
22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x
12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9
__
2) Eliminate parentheses:
-16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8
3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2
_____
<em>Comments on the solutions</em>
The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...
variable term = constant
We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.
Answer:
The perimeter would also be multiplied by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter would also be multiplied by 2. Suppose the sides of a triangle are 5, 10 and 13. The perimeter would be the sum of the side lengths or 5 + 10 + 13 = 28 ft.
Multiply each side length so 5*2 = 10, 10*2 = 20 and 13*2 = 26. Find the perimeter by finding their sum, 10 + 20 + 26 = 56.
Divide the new perimeter by the old perimeter to find a scale factor.
56/28 = 2.
The new perimeter is exactly 2 times bigger since 2*28 = 56.
Answer: FIRST OPTION.
