Answer:

If the scale factor is increased in 2.5, the increased width will be:

  • <u>22.5 cm</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that an oblong is longer than it is wide, by this reason, the ratio of 4:3 could mean, if we give a number, by each 4 cm in the length, there is 3 cm in the width, in this form, if the oblong has a length of 12 cm, the width is:

  • 4 cm ⇒ 3 cm
  • 12 cm ⇒ x

So:

  • x=\frac{12 *3}{4}
  • x=\frac{36}{4}
  • x=9

Then, the original width is 9 cm, as the scale factor must be increased 2.5, we can multiply the found width to obtain the increased width:

  • Increased width = 9 cm * 2.5
  • <u>Increased width = 22.5 cm</u>

As you can see, <u><em>the increased widt will be 22.5 cm</em></u>.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:x=53/6 and y=-55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number x

Second number b y

Sum of the numbers x+y=-1/3

x-y=18

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

We get

2y=-55/3

y=-55/6

Substitute for y in equation 1

x+55/6=18

x=18-55/6

x=53/6

if it passes through y we should use value of y
