If they equal then we know our solution is correct .if not then our solution is wrong

The correct way to do this is,

DO THE FIRST EQUATION FIRST SO THAT YOU DONT GET OVER WHELMED.

STEP1: 3x+4-4=3x -2-4= -6

STEP2: 3x-6

Now, divide both sides by 3.

STEP3: 3x/3 -6/3

STEP4: x=-2

SO your answer will be x=-2.

A triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/5 and then rotated 90 degree clockwise about the origin. Why is the image similar t

yan [13]

Answers:
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle

Explanation:
For shapes to be similar:
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape

Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes

Let's check the choices:
1- The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides

2- The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles

3- The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image

4- The image is a reduction of the pre-image:
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced

5- Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)

6- The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position

Hope this helps :)
