Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x2-x=7
7x2=14.
14-x=7
When you finished the last step, you will subtract 14 to both sides.
14-x=7
14-14-x=7-14
this will cancel out the 14 on the left.
And will leave you with:
-x=7-14
7-14 is -7.
and this will get you to
-x=-7
To finish this off, you have to turn the negative x/variable, into a positive x/variable.
So, you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
-x = -7
into

and it will be -7.
I hope this helps :)
The scale factor is:

So you divide the corresponding lengths and the ratio you get is the scale factor. Hope it helps!
