Given the differential equation

The solution is as follows:
Answer:
Explanation:
15 goes into 60, 4 times (1 fourth is equal to 25%).
15 goes into 75, 5 times (1 fifth is equal to 20%)
So 75 is one fifth more because it has a value of 15 more, and 60 is 1 fourth less than 75 because its value is more minuscule and less is more.
If you don't understand this was quite the challenge to explain.
17. RQ is the same as PS.
PS = -1 + 4x
RQ = 3x + 3
-1 + 4x = 3x + 3
4x = 3x + 4
x = 4
Now plug that into RQ.
3(4) + 3 = RQ
15 = RQ
18. Angles G and E are equal to each other.
G = 5x - 9
E = 3x + 11
5x - 9 = 3x + 11
5x = 3x + 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Plug that x into G.
5(10) - 9
41 = G
19. TE and EV are equal to each other.
TE = 4 + 2x
EV = 4x - 4
4 + 2x = 4x - 4
2x = 4x - 8
-2x = -8
x = 4
Plug that into TE.
4 + 2(4)
12 = TE
20. DB and BF are equal.
DB = 5x - 1
BF = 5 + 3x
5x - 1 = 5 + 3x
5x = 6 + 3x
2x = 6
x = 3
Plug that into DB.
5(3) - 1
14 = DB
Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
Answer:
the answer is 3since x is 2 so it becomes 5times 2 minus 7 equals to 3
