If the scale factor is 1/5, then the area of the preimage is multiplied by <u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u> or <u>1</u><u>/</u><u>5</u> to calculate the area of the new image.
Answer:
b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms
-13 +3b = -5-b
Add b to each side
-13+3b+b = -5-b+b
-13+4b = -5
Add 13 to each side
-13+13 +4b = -5+13
4b = 8
Divide by 4
4b/4 = 8/4
b = 2
