So basically the side length went from 3 to 7.5, so we have to find the factor which caused the increase. We have to find what times 3 makes 7.5

So our equation is 3×x=7.5
From here on it's just algebra, we'll divide each side by 3 to isolate x

7.5/3=2.5
x=2.5
So the scale factor applied to the first rectangle is 2.5

If f(x) = 3x to the 2nd+ 1 and g(x) = 1-x, what is the value of (f-g)(2)?

$\displaystyle\\f(x)=3x^2+1\\g(x)=1-x\\\\(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=3x^2+1-(1-x)=3x^2+1-1+x=\boxed{3x^2+x}\\\\(f-g)(2)=f(2)-g(2)=3\cdot2^2+2=3\cdot4+2=12+2=\boxed{14}$
