Answer:
0.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The magnifying glass basically zooms into smaller objects. If the insect appears to be 2cm, then it is actually smaller than this. It cannot be 10 cm.
If the scale factor is 5, then this means that the insect is zoomed in 5 times through the magnifying glass. Use the following ratio:

This fraction can also be seen as division, so:
÷
The insect is actually 0.4 cm long.
(or 4 millimeters)

Lets check...
42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional
proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional

3(x+1) = 2(x-8) + 3. First, remove the parentheses by distributing (multiplying out the numbers):
3x + 3 = 2x - 16 + 3.
Then, combine any like terms on the same side of the equals sign;
3x + 3 = 2x -13.
Then, move the like terms on opposite sides of the equals sign to the same side of the equals sign (don't forget to change the signs)..
3x -2x = -13 - 3.
Then combine the like terms on the same side of the equals sign again.. x = -16 .
