X=4
(X+20)/2 = 3x
Multiply everything by 2 to cancel out the 2; therefore, (x+20)= 6x
Now solve for x,
20= 6x-x
20= 5x
Divide everything by 5 to solve for x,
20\5 = 5x/5
4=x
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope you will understand the way I solved it
if not, dont hesitate to ask questions in the comments...
The rule for dilation (scale factor k) about the origin is given by:
(x,y)->(kx,ky)
The scale factor k can be obtained from any one of the ratios:
