The answer is Option A.
Scale Factors
If the Scale Factor IS 1, the polygon stays the SAME.
(If an equilateral triangle has a side length of 8 and the scale factor is 1, the sides will stay at 8)
If the Scale Factor is MORE THAN 1, the polygon's sides INCREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 3 and the scale factor is 4, the sides will increase to 12)
If the Scale Factor is LESS THAN 1, the polygon's sides DECREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 5 and the scale factor is 1/2, the side lengths will decrease down to 0.5)
Therefore each side length of the new triangle is 4 times shorter than the original (Option A)
Answer:
Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning and Henry's balloon traveled more quickly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance of Tasha's balloon from the town is represented by the function y = 8x+ 20 ............. (1)
Where y is the distance in miles from the town and x represents the time of fly in hours.
So, at the start of the journey i.e. at x = 0, y = 20 miles {From equation (1)} from the town.
Again, Tasha's balloon is traveling at a rate of 8 miles per hour.
Now, Henry's balloon begins 30 miles from the town and is 48 miles from the town after 2 hours.
So, Henry's balloon traveling with the speed of
miles per hour.
Therefore, Henry's balloon was farther from the town at the beginning i.e. 30 miles from the town. And Henry's balloon traveled more quickly i.e at the rate of 9 miles per hour. (Answer)
Eight *(a number) plus 5*(another number) is -13.
translates to:
8(x) + 5(y) = -13
The sum of (the number) and (the other number) is 1.
translates to:
(x) + (y) = 1
We have a system of two equations involving two unknowns: x and y.

We can easily solve the system using Substitution or Elimination. Let's use Elimination this time.
We'll multiply the second equation by -8 so that the x's match up.

When we add the equations together, the x's will fall out of the equation, summing to zero. The 5y and -8y will sum to -3y and the right hand side will sum to -21.

Divide by -3,

Plug back into one of your original equations to find the value of x,

Subtract 7,
