Answer:

a) 3/2 or 1.5

b) 2/3 or ≈.66

Step-by-step explanation:

AB corresponds to DE because they are both the longest sides of their respective triangles.

a) The scale factor would be what you would multiply 8 by to get 12. 12/8 is 3/2 or 1.5

b) The scale factor would be what you multiply 12 by to get 8. 8/12 is 2/3 or ≈.66

marysya [2.9K]
First you must combine like terms, the two terms I this expression are x, and xy. So by adding -2xy to -2xy you get -4xy. Next you must add 3x to 3x. This gives you the simplified expression -4xy+6x. Hope this helps

A game increased in price by 1/2 . After the increase it was priced at £27. What was the original price of the game? (Hegarty Ma
lukranit [14]

Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18
