A dilation is basically a factor of enlargement or reduction, where you multiply the factor for the dilation.
So,
Multiply the numerator 5 by the factor of 8.
5*8= 40
40/8 ft^2= 5 ft^2
The new area if 5 ft^2.
I hope this helps!

Sorry could not type exponents
Are you missing something?
2xy=7
5xy=9
does not have a solution.
If you mean
2x+y=7
5x+y=9
please say so.
The greatest common factor is 9.
