You do 5 times x and 5 times 4 and you’d end up with equation that says 5x-4=6. The you add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the 4. Your equation should now say 5x=10. You divide both sides by 5 and you have your answer x=2
X = 213.075
First you have to get rid of the 4 and since it’s multiplying you to the opposite and that’s dividing.
-3.7 divided by 4 = -0.925
X - 214 = -0. 925
Then you add 214 to -0.925 and get 213.075
If you put it in fraction form and use PEMDAS to find the answer
The answer is:
11.18

Basically you multiply the original length by the scale factor. So let's say there's a side length of 10 and the scale factor is .5, then you multiply 10 by .5 and get 5, that's all scale factor is . It can get larger/smaller, just depends on the number.
