A dilation would produce<span> a </span>similar figure. Therefore, the sequence of transformations that will produce a similar but not congruent figures would be the first and the third option. Figure TUVWX is dilated by a scale factor of 6 and then rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin; and f<span>igure TUVWX is reflected across the x-axis and dilated by a scale factor of 7. Hope this answers your question.</span>
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
4.5 is the answer
Divide 49 from both sides
220.5 / 49 = 4.5
Your answer is 8x hope that helps
