Answer:

Option D. (8, – 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 ..... (1)

x – y = 12.... (2)

To solve the above equation by elimination method, do the following:

Step 1:

Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2 i.e 1.

Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x in equation 1 i.e 3. This is illustrated below:

1 × Equation 1

1 × (3x + 4y = 8)

3x + 4y = 8 ...... (3)

3 × Equation 2

3 × ( x – y = 12)

3x – 3y = 36......(4)

Step 2:

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4. This is illustrated below:

. 3x – 3y = 36

– (3x + 4y = 8)

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

– 7y = 28

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e –7

y = 28/–7

y = – 4

Step 3:

Substitute the value of y into any of the equation to obtain the value of x. In this case, we shall substitute the value of y into equation 2 as shown below:

x – y = 12

y = –4

x – (–4) = 12

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 – 4

x = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation above is (8, – 4)

Given a dilation with the origin O (0, 0), by observation determine the scale factor "K." DO, K = (5, 0) (10, 0) The dilation an
Julli [10]
A dilation is a transformation D_{o,\, k}, with center O and a scale factor of k that is not zero, that maps O to itself and any other point P to P'. The center O is a fixed point, P' is the image of P, points O, P and P' are on the same line.

In a dilation of D_{o,\, k} the scale factor, k is mapping the original figure to the image in such a way that the distances from O to the vertices of the image are k times the distances from O to the original figure. Also the size of the image are k times the size of the original figure.

Thus for a  dilation using the rule D_{o,\ k}=(5,\, 0)\rightarrow (10,\, 0) results in the distance of the image form O being twice the distance of the original point from O.

Therefore, it can be observed that the scale factor of the dilation, k, is 2.
