You must divide the larger by the smaller... That will give you the scale factor.
For example: Rectangles 10 x 20 and 5 x 10
the scale factor us 10/5 = 20/10 = 2
Hope this helps.
if your wanting to know how far the diver will be down you do 240+25 which is 265
265-80=185 (cause the diver swims up)
185+12+30 =227
227-16 =211
the deep see diver is at 211 meters below the surface
Answer:x=−24/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifies to:
x−86x=79
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
x−86x=79
Step 1: Cross-multiply.
x−86x=79
(x−8)*(9)=7*6x
9x−72=42x
Step 2: Subtract 42x from both sides.
9x−72−42x=42x−42x
−33x−72=0
Step 3: Add 72 to both sides.
−33x−72+72=0+72
−33x=72
Step 4: Divide both sides by -33.
−33x−33=72−33
x=−2411
Its hard to explain how to solve but I could just give you the answer: 4.4
