The person that factored the polynomial did one thing wrong -- they used minus signs when they should've used plus signs. We can figure this out because of the values of the quantities in the original trinomial. Since all of them are positive, we know that either there are two plus signs or that there is a minus and a plus sign with the value to the right of the plus sign being greater than the value to the right of the minus sign. But, that wouldn't work here, so the only thing wrong with this answer is that the plus signs should be minus signs.
Answer:
To solve this we need to form 2 equations with only 2 variables.
x+4y-5z=-7
2x+y+5z=8
3x+5y=1
15x+10y+15z=35
6x+3y+15z=24
9x+7y=11
Now we need to use these to find x and y
9x+15y=3
9x+7y=11
8y=-8
y=-1
Therefore:
x=2
From this we can find that:
2(2)-1+5z=8
Therefore z=1
The answer is x=2, y=-1, z=1
The scale factor is obviously 7, because the 28 divided by 4 equals 7.
This means that the larger octagon's perimeter will be 7 times the smaller octagon's perimeter.
So 34 * 7 = 238.
