Answer:
Scale factor of 2
Explanation:
I compared the lengths of AC to DF. AC is one unit long, whereas DF is two units long, so DF is dilated by a scale factor of 2.
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x + 3(x - 5) = 25
Distribute the 3 into the (x - 5).
-8x + 3x - 15 = 25
Combine like terms.
-5x - 15 = 25
Add 15 to both sides.
-5x = 40
Divide both sides by -5.
x = -8.
Proof:
-8x + 3(x - 5) = 25
Substitute variable.
-8(-8) + 3((-8) - 5) = 25
Subtract inside parenthesis.
-8(-8) + 3(-13) = 25
Multiply -8 and -8.
64 + 3(-13) = 25
Multiply 3 and -13.
64 + (-39) = 25
Add 64 and -39.
25 = 25
32 is closer to 33 than it is to 40
Here is the answer that Siri gave me
-2x-y=3 ...(1)
x+2y=4 ...(2)
multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
-2x-y+2x+4y=3+8
3y=11
y=11/3
from (2)
x=4-2y=4-2(11/3)
or x=4-(22/3)
=(12-22)/3=-10/3
