Answer:
We conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)
i.e.
P = 2(l+w)
Here
Given that the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2
A scale factor of 2 means we need to multiply both length and width by 2.
i.e
P = 2× 2(l+w)
P' = 2 (2(l+w))
= 2P ∵ P = 2(l+w)
Therefore, we conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
