Given:
a square with an area of a² is enlarged to a square with an area of 25a².
The side length of the smaller square was changed when The side length was multiplied by 5.
Area = (1a)² = a²
Area = 1a * 5 = 5a ⇒ (5a)² = 25a²

Hi!
<h3>We need to isolate b on one side. </h3>
<em>Multiply by 4 on both sides. </em>
-83 * 4 = b/4 * 4
<u>-332 = b</u>
<h2>The answer is b = -332</h2>
<em>To check your answer, put in the value of b. </em>
-83 = -332/4
-83 = -83
<u>This equation is correct. </u>
Hope this helps! :)
