I am having trouble learning how to convert an equation to standard form can someone please explain this to me? ( my teacher ten

Molodets [167]

First, you have to simplify the equation:
y+3 = 3(x+5)
y+3=3x+15
So you multiply what’s inside the brackets (x+5) by the factor (3). So 3•x=3x, 3•5=15.
Then you rearrange the equation as necessary to convert it into standard form, which is Ax + By = C

Answer:

3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When we enlarge or shrink an object, we perform a dilation. A dilation preserves the relationship between sides and the exact angle measure. This means the original and the enlargement are proportional and any missing lengths can be found through a proportion.

A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare height over length of the original rectangle to an equal ratio of height to length of the enlargement. Since we do not know height of the enlargement, we will use a variable to write:

$\frac{2}{9} =\frac{h}{13.5}$
