5x+x-3=9
6x-3=9
cancel out 3 3+3 9+3
6x=12 divide six by 6 and by 12 too.
x=12/6=2
x=2
Answer:
225 sq. Ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Key words in the question;
Dilated - This means increased pr expanded
Scale factor of 3 - This basically means multiplied by 3
Old square = 75 sq. Ft
This means;
New are = Old area * 3
New area = 75 * 3 = 225 sq. Ft
PERPENDICULAR LINES have the same y-intercept
Since the angle under angle 3 is a right angle (because of the little orange square) we can assume that angle 3 plus angle 2 equals 90 degrees. so
(2x - 5) + (4x - 13) = 90
6x - 18 = 90
6x = 108
x = 18
measure of angle 2 = 36 - 5 = 31
measure of angle 3 = 72-13 = 59
