If the older brother is 27...27/3=9...+10=19....and 27+19=46. So the math works out, the younger brother is 19.

-(7x + 4)- 2x + 2 = 52

Distribute the negative sign:
-7x -4 - 2x + 2 = 52

Combine like terms:
-9x - 2 = 52

Add 2 to both sides:
-9x = 54

Divide by -9:
x = -6

Answer: x = -6

A rectangle has a width of 5 yd and a length of 9 yd.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option The area is increased by a factor of $16$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to scale factor squared

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x------> the area of the dilated rectangle

y------> the area of the original rectangle

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=4$ ------> is an enlargement

so

substitute

$4^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

$16=\frac{x}{y}$

$x=16y$

therefore

The area is increased by a factor of $16$
