You check both of them:
1. 3*3-(-8)/4=9-(-2)=9+2=11 it's true
2. 3*4-4/4=12-1=11 true
so both of them are solutions
To find the scale factor you put the first one on top and second on bottom we get 12/16
So the scale factor is .75
Answer:
No, those are not the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming x=2,
-3=2-5 is not the same as -3=5-2
