Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Rectangle:
Length = 2 in
Width = 3 in
Scale Factor = 7
Solving (a):
The side lengths of the new scale is calculated as follows;
New Lengths = Old Lengths * Scale Factor



Solving (b): To go back to the original length
Given that the initial scale factor is 7;
The new scale factor is the reciprocal of the old factor;
Hence;

Multiply the top equation by 6 and the bottom equation by 7. You will cancel x first by doing this and solve for y. You should get y=-1.
Substitute in y for either original equation.
You should get x=1.
Solution is (1,-1).
Answer:
11.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both equations by 100:
19.99=1999
8.79=879
1999-879=1120
Divide by 100:
1120/100=11.20 saved ................
