Answer: 2.25
Divide the corresponding values. You'll divide figure 2's length over figure 1's corresponding length. So 18/8 = 2.25
This means each side of figure 2 is 2.25 times larger than the corresponding side for figure 1
we have
<u>The system of equations</u>
-------> equation 
-------> equation 
Substitute equation
in equation 

subtract
both sides


Divide by
both sides

the solution is the point 
therefore
the answer is
the solution to the system of equations is the point
