2x + y = 20

y = 20 - 2x

Substitute into second equation:

6x - 5(20-2x) = 12

6x -100 +10x = 12

16x = 112

x = 7

Plug back into first equation:

2(7) + y = 20

14 +y = 20

y = 6

Answer is x = 7 and y = 6

2x + y = 20

6x - 5y = 20


2x + y = 20

Subtract 2x on both sides to get "y" by itself, so you can later substitute it into the second equation.

2x + y - 2x = 20 - 2x

y = 20 - 2x


6x - 5y = 12

6x - 5(20 - 2x) = 12   Multiply 5 into (20 - 2x)

6x - 100 + 10x = 12    Combine like terms

16x - 100 = 12     Add 100 on both sides  

16x - 100 + 100 = 12 + 100

16x = 112    Divide 16 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 7

Plug in x into either of the original equations to find y.

2x + y = 20

2(7) + y = 20

14 + y = 20

y = 6


x = 7, y = 6

Which of the following is a dilation?
Mademuasel [1]
It’s the second option, (x,y) —> (3x,3y) since you have to multiply each coordinate by a certain number called the scale factor (in this case, it’s 3)

The first option won’t work because the scale factor has to be same for both coordinates. The third option is a translation, and the fourth won’t work either because you have to multiply each coordinate by the same variable.
