4a-8=28
add 8 to both sides to start to isolate the variable (a)
-8+8 cancels each other out
28+8=36
4a=36
to completely isolate the variable divide both sides by 4
4a÷4=a
36÷4=9
a=9
Im not in expert at this but i did the best i could im 80% sure this is the anser if not im sorry x > 30
-5 because it is closest to zero and -17 is farther than zero on a number line :) <span />
Answer:
I'll give the scale factor and you can compute the coordinates of S
Step-by-step explanation:
the dilation if centered about the origin is the scale factor multiplied by each coordinate.
so looking at points V and U, the scale factor F is found by solving for F:
-6xF= -8
F=8/6=4/3
Now you can compute the coordinates for S
