Move terms

12+1.5a=3a

Collect the like terms

1.5a3a=-12

Divide both sides by -1.5

-1.5a=-12

a=8

Isolate the a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 1.5a from both sides

12 + 1.5a (-1.5a) = 3a (-1.5a)

12 = 3a - 1.5a

12 = 1.5a

Isolate the a. Divide 1.5 from both sides

(12)/1.5 = (1.5a)/1.5

a = 12/1.5

a = 8

8 is your answer for a.

______________________________________________________

Check: Plug in 8 for a.

12 + 1.5(8) = 3(8)

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.

12 + 1.5(8) = 24

12 + 12 = 24

24 = 24 (True)

The dashed triangle is the image of the solid triangle. The center of dilation is (−5, 7) .
adell [148]
Before dilation:
the height of the triangle is h₁ = 7 - (-1) = 8
the width of the triangle is w₁ = 7 - (-5) = 12

After dilation:
the height of the is h₂ = 9-7 = 2
the width of the triangle is w₂ = -5 - (-8) = 3

The scale factor is h₂/h₁ = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
Also, the scale factor is w₂/w₁ = 3/12 = 1/4 = 0.25

Answer: The scale factor is 0.25
