Answer:
Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.
<u>The area is:</u>
<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>
<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>
<u>The area is now:</u>
- (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
- 3x² + 4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
- x² - 2x - 8 = 0
- x² - 2x + 1 = 9
- (x - 1)² = 3²
- x - 1 = 3
- x = 4
The breadth was 4 m and the length 12 m
we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.

</h3><h3>What is the scale factor from M to S?</h3>
Suppose we have a figure S. If we apply a stretch of scale factor K to our figure S, we can say that all the dimensions of figure S are multiplied by K.
So, if S represents the length of a bar, then after the stretch we will get a bar of length M, such that:
M = S*K
If that scale factor is 3/2, then we have the case of the problem:
M = (3/2)*S
We can isolate S in the above relation:
(2/3)*M = S
Now we have an equation (similar to the first one) that says that the scale factor from M to S is 2/3.
Then we conclude that if the scale factor from S to M is 3/2, then the scale factor from M to S is 2/4.

Answer: -7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
16/2 = 8
14/2 = 7
Then its negative because its still negative.
A = 0.363636 ...
a = 0.(36)
100a = 36.(36)
100a - a = 36.(36) - 0.(36)
99a = 36
