Answer: OPTION A.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, a dilation can be an enlargement or a reduction of the shape.
An enlargement is when dilation creates a larger image and a reduction is when dilation creates a smaller image.
When, the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement and when the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction.
It is important to know that with a negative scale factor the enlargement will will be inverted and it will also be on the other side of the center of dilation.
Knowing this, we can say that the scale factor that will result in an enlargement is:

Membership is discounted $2 for first month
c=cost of one month
d=discount=$2
x=# of months
xc - 2= total cost
x for 1 month is 1, c is always 12, -2 is constant
1 x(12) - 2=10 for first month
8 months
8c -2=total cost for 8 months
8 x 12 - 2= 94 for 8 months
Answer:
17
Step 1: rerrange the data
8 , 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 19, 22, 24
Q2 is the median
see that the middle number is 17
5(x-2) or 5x-10 are both correct
