<h3>
Answer: (2, 3)</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
1/4 = 0.25 is the scale factor
Multiply this with each coordinate of the given point
0.25*8 = 2 is the new x coordinate
0.25*12 = 3 is the new y coordinate
So (8,12) moves to (2,3) after applying the dilation
The scale factor k makes 0 < k < 1 true, so the point is closer to the origin after applying the dilation.
--------
Side note: this trick of multiplying the scale factor by each coordinate only works if the dilation is centered at the origin. For any other center, you'll need to apply a translation first, dilate, then translate back again.

Answer:
If 5x-2 = 3x+4, then x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-2=3x+4
Add 2 to both sides, and you get 5x=3x+6. Subtract 3x from both sides, and you get 2x=6. Divide both sides by 2, and what's left is x=3. Hope this helps. :)
