It would be 1/7 since you essentially are dividing by 7 to cancel out the original scaling.

Step-by-step explanation:
ANSWER: X= 6
EXPLANATION: We know that AM = 6x and AM is half of AB so if we multiply 6x times 2 we get 12x. Which mean 12x= AB
We also know that AB= 10x + 12 so if both 10x + 12 and 12x equal AB we have to set them equal to each other to find out what x is
10x + 12= 12x
First subtract 12 on both sides then it should look like 10x= 12x - 12
Now subtract 12x from 10x and it should look like -2x= -12
Lastly divide everything by -2 and you get x= 6
hope this helps!!!! And I didn’t know if you needed the explanation but I just wrote it anyways

Answer: B) 6</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
x = original side length
2x = double the side length
The old area is x^2. The new square area is (2x)^2 = 4x^2
new area = (old area) + 27
4x^2 = x^2 + 27
4x^2-x^2 = 27
3x^2 = 27
x^2 = 27/3
x^2 = 9
x = sqrt(9)
x = 3
The old original square has a side length of 3 units.
The new larger square has a side length of 2x = 2*3 = 6 units which is the final answer (choice B)
old area = 3^2 = 9
new area = 6^2 = 36
The jump from 9 to 36 is +27 to help confirm the answer.
