17/80 = p/100
p = 17/80 * 100
p = 0.2125 * 100
p = 21.25
Let x be the 1st number
x + 9 be the second number
Equation:
x + x+9 = 171
Solution:
2x + 9 = 171
2x = 171 - 9
2x = 162
x = 81
x + 9 = 90
81 + 90 = 171
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
<u>It squares the amount you scaled it by.</u>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
For example, imagine that you had 2 by 2 square, and then you put it through a scale factor of 2.
Now each side length would be double of what it once was.
But when you multiply the new lengths together, the area would be of 4 times more.
(Original Equation) 2 * 2 = 4
(Scale Factor of 2) 4 * 4 = 16
So when the scale factor is made, the area would be squared to the multiple that you scaled it by.
<em>***A square root is a number times itself.</em>
<em>(eg): 3 * 3 = </em><em>9</em>
<em> 15 * 15 = </em><em>225</em>
<em>9 and 225 would be the square root in these problems.</em>
