Question

3y-3.5/3y+6=17/25.5. find the value of y. give the scale factor of the polygon

Answer 1

Hi the answer to your question is

 

((3y - 3.5) / (3y + 6)) * 25.5 = (17 / 25.5) * 25.5

((3y - 3.5) / (3y + 6)) * 25.5 = 17 (76.5y - 89.25) / (3y + 6) = 17

((76.5y - 89.25) / (3y + 6)) * (3y + 6) = 17 * (3y + 6) 76.5y - 89.25 = 51y + 102 76.5y - 51y = 102 + 89.25

25.5y = 191.25

y = 191.25 / 25.5

y = 7.5
