Answer:
scale factor 1:300
Step-by-step explanation:
S = 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + 11 + 13 + 15
S = 15 + 13 + 11 + ... + 5 + 3 + 1
==> 2S = (1 + 15) + (3 + 13) + (5 + 11) + ... + (15 + 1)
There are 8 terms in the sum, so
2S = 8 * 16 = 128
S = 128/2 = 64
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 8 = -2
-5x + 8 - 8 = -2 -8
-5x = -10
-5x/5 = -10/5
-x = -2
x=2
