Answer:

D 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the same scaling factor s applies to all sides when transforming from the small to the large triangle.

x×s = x + 5

(x-2)×s = x +1

=> s = (x+5)/x

=> (x-2)×(x+5)/x = x + 1

=> x² + 3x - 10 = x² + x

=> 3x - 10 = x

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5

Solve using substitution or elimination.<br><br> y = x + 1<br> 2x - 5y = 4

andrew-mc [135]

Substitute y = x + 1 into 2x - 5y = 4

-3x - 5 = 4

Solve for x in -3x - 5 = 4

x = -3

Substitute x = -3 into y = x + 1

y = -2

Therefore,

<u>x = -3</u>

<u>y = -2</u>
