Given:

Point A'(6,3) is a dilation of point A(18,9).

To find:

The scale factor.

Solution:

We know that, if a point P is dilated by factor k and origin is the center of dilation, then

P(x,y)\to P'(kx,ky)

Let the scale factor for the given problem be k. So,

A(18,9)\to A'(18k,9k)

On comparing A'(18k,9k) and A'(6,3), we get

18k=6\text{ and }9k=3

k=\dfrac{6}{18}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{3}{9}

k=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore, the scale factor is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Find the value of x given m (I need a lot of help)
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

m angle SAR = m angle SQR (angles lying in the same segment of a circle are always equal)

that's why

7x+7=9x-7

9x-7x= 7+7

2x= 14

x=7

ch4aika [34]

Mark and Don have 18  and 92 marbles respectively.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation?</h3>

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side. It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. We have LHS = RHS (left hand side = right hand side) in every mathematical equation. To determine the value of an unknown variable that represents an unknown quantity, equations can be solved.

Let the number of marbles Mark has be x.

According to the question,

Don has (5x+2) marbles.

Total number of marbles=110

Thus, the required equation is:

x+5x+2=110

6x=108

x=108/6

x=18

Mark has 18 marbles.

Don has (5*18+2)=92 marbles.
