<h3>Answer:</h3>
F (3x, 3y)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Dilation about the origin multiplies each coordinate by the dilation factor. For some coordinates (x, y), dilation by a factor of 3 means the new coordinates are ...
... 3×(x, y) = (3x, 3y)
_____
<em>Comment on the problem</em>
The way the problem is worded, you expect an answer choice that will be specific to the coordinates of point A. There are none.
Instead, the answer choices are generic, corresponding to dilation of a point (x, y) by a factor of 3, translation up and to the right by 3, dilation by a factor of 1/3, and translation down and to the left by 3.
The right fraction represents the percentage; 42 over 100 (100 is the total), or 0.42.
The left fraction is the part number over the whole number. The whole number is unknown, so we use 'x'.
Your answer is 75.
Answer:
A) SUBTRACT 3x by both sides of the bottom equation.
