To determine scale factor, we have to see what the common factor we multiply each term by in order to get the other two terms. To do this, we have to divide the corresponding values: 4.5/3 = 1.5. 9/6 = 1.5. Thus, since both pairs of numbers produced the same factor, it is 1.5
Answer:
6(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+18
6*x + 3*6
Factor out a 6
6(x+3)
Answer:
y= ab if a≠b
Step-by-step explanation:
y/a −b= y/b −a
multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions
ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)
distribute
ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a
b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b
subtract ay on each side
by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b
by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b
add ab^2 to each side
by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b
by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b
factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right
y (b-a) = ab(b-a)
divide by (b-a)
y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a) b-a ≠0 or b≠a
y = ab
