Hey there! :)
Answer:
x = 21 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know Figure A is just Figure B scaled, we can set up a proportion:

Cross multiply to solve for x:
45 · x = 35 · 27
45x = 945
Divide both sides by 45:
x = 21 units.
Y = -2m -1 is your equation
Given

To find a solution for the linear equation, the first step is to write the equation in slope-intercept form:
-Pass the x-term to the right side of the equation by applying the opposite operation to both sides of the equal sign:

-Divide both sides by -2:

Once you have expressed the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, replace it with any value for x and calculate the corresponding value of y, for example, x=2

One solution for the linear equation is x=2 and y=-6, you can check the solution by replacing the values on the original equation, with both values the result should be 8:

As you can see the values are a valid solution for the linear equation.
So the solution is:
-(x+2)^2(x-4)^2
Not that if x= -2 and x=4 they will look like this in an equation: (x+2) and (x-4)
When (x+2) and (x-4) are set equal to zero and you solve for x, x will equal x= -2 and x=4
If they have double roots, they have a multiplicity of 2 (per root) meaning they will bounce off of the x-axis. Multiplicity can be found by using exponents.
The negative in front flips the function over the x-axis and holds true to the given limit.
