So these are basically isolating the variables.
The first equation is 3g + 5 =17.
In order to isolate the variable, we would have to get g by itself, that means 5 would have to go. In order to do this, we would do the opposite. Since it is positive 5 we would add negative 5, in order for it to disappear. This works because a positive 5 and negative 5 cancel each other out. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other, since we subtract 5 on one side we have to subtract 5 on the other. Therefore we would do 17-5.
Now we have 3g=12
We know that 3g is basically 3 multiplied by g. The opposite of multiplication is division.Therefore we would divide by 3 on both sides.
The answer to the first question would be g= 4.
And if you want to check if your answer is correct you plug the value in.
So
3(4) + 5 =17
The scale factor that Thea uses to go from Rectangle Q to Rectangle R is equal to 6.
<h3>What is the scale factor from rectangle Q to rectangle R?</h3>
In geometry, the scale factor is a ratio of the resulting length to the initial length. Since the area of the square is equal to the square of its side length, then the scale factor is equal to:
k² = A' / A
k = √(A' / A)
Where:
- k - Scale factor
- A' - Area of the rectangle R.
- A - Area of the rectangle Q.
If we know that A = 2 and A' = 72, then the scale factor is:
k = √(72 / 2)
k = √36
k = 6
Then, the scale factor that Thea uses to go from Rectangle Q to Rectangle R is equal to 6.

I'll talk you through it so you can see why it's true, and then
you can set up the 2-column proof on your own:
Look at the two pointy triangles, hanging down like moth-wings
on each side of 'OC'.
-- Their long sides are equal, OA = OB, because both of those lines
are radii of the big circle.
-- Their short sides are equal, OC = OC, because they're both the same line.
-- The angle between their long side and short side ... the two angles up at 'O',
are equal, because OC is the bisector of the whole angle there.
-- So now you have what I think you call 'SAS' ... two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
(When I was in high school geometry, this was not called 'SAS' ... the alphabet
did not extend as far as 'S' yet, and we had to call this congruence theorem
"broken arrow".)
These triangles are not congruent the way they are now, because one is
the mirror image of the other one. But if you folded the paper along 'OC',
or if you cut one triangle out and turn it over, it would exactly lie on top of
the other one, and they would be congruent.
So their angles at 'A' and at 'B' are also equal ... those are the angles that
you need to prove equal.
243 - 167 =76
The difference is 76g.
You just need to find the difference between both snacks
