Suppose you have two similar figures , one larger than the other. The scale factor is the ratio of the length of a side of one figure to the length of the corresponding side of the other figure

Well...

generally to find scale factor you need to find how much larger or smaller the new image compared to the original. If it is larger it is represented as a ratio (example 1:2), if it is smaller it is represented as a fraction (example 1/2).

An example of finding scale factor would be a square with all the side lengths being 4cm (as the original) and the new square having all side lengths of 8 cm.

The scale factor would be 1 : 2 because the new image is 2 times the size of the original.

How do i solve this equation
dedylja [7]
The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
8 + 10y = 9y - 12
now move the variable to the left side and change its sign
8 + 10y - 9y = -12
move the constant to the right side and change its sign
10y - 9y = -12 - 8
collect the like terms for y
y = -12 - 8                  (it equals 1 when you subtract 10 from 9 which is the same is simply saying "y")
calculate the difference on the other side of the equals sign
y = -20
this means that the correct answer to your question is -20.
let me know if you have any further questions
