The answer is negative 5 because you subtract 12 from each side to get 5x=-25 and -25 divided by 5 is negative 5
A*5+b*2=145
a +b =50 | * -2
5a +2b=145
-2a -2b = -100
----------------------
5a-2a = 145-100
3a= 45
a=45:3
a=15 questions are worth 5 p
b=50-15=35 questions worth 2 p
Dilation refers to a non rigid motion where a figure is transform and its image has the same form but a different size measure.
Dilation is define by the rule (x,y)-- (kx, ky) where k represents the scale factor.
On this exercise is given that a triangle with vertices (-2,1), (8,4), and (3,0) was dilated by a scale factor of four, and it is asked to find the vertices of the image of the triangle after the dilation occurred.
Pre-image Image
(-2,1) -- (-2*4,1*4) -- (-8,4)
(8,4) -- (8*4,4*4) -- (32,16)
(3,0) -- (3*4,0*4) -- (12,0)
The coordinates representing the vertices of the triangle's image are (-8,4), (32,16), and (12,0); meaning that the ordered pair which is not a coordinate for a point in the triangle's image is (2,1).
