Answer:
-6x + 15 = - 69 which x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot solve this equation. There is no equal sign anywhere. Either you mean
-6x = 15 in which case the answer is
-6x/-6 = 15/-6
x = - 2 1/2 or x= - 2.5
or you mean that you use the distributive property
- 3(2x + 5)
You may have left something out of this.
-6x + 15 = - 69
You can do it now that you have the complete equation. But you need the entire equation before you can answer the question.
Subtract - 15 from both sides.
-6x + 15 - 15 = -69 - 15
-6x = - 84
Divide by - 6
-6x/-6 = - 84/-6
x = 14
But what you want is
-6x + 15
-6*14 + 15
-84 + 15
-69
-6x + 15 = - 69
when x = 14 which is usually what you are asked.
Scale factor is defined as a number which multiplies or scales some quantity.
The shape of the figure remains same, the image becomes larger or smaller.
If the scale factor is greater than one, then the image is enlarged.
If the scale factor is less than 1 but greater that 0, then the image becomes smaller.
In the above image, AD = 2 units.
It's corresponding side PS = 3 units
Similarly AB = 1 unit and PQ = 1.5 units
Hence , 1 * 1.5 = 1.5
2*1.5 = 3
Hence, the scale factor of the given image is 1.5 ... Answer
