In order to solve an equation for a variable, we need to isolate that variable on one side of the equation (either left side or right side).
Following are some steps to solve equation/inequality in one variable:
1) Get rid constant number from on side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.
2) Get rid variable terms from other side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.
3) Combine like terms on both sides.
4) Get rid any coefficent ( a number in front of a variable) by dividing from both sides.
5) Finally you get a variable on one side and solution on other side.

Answer:
i guess, you pretty much made a statement not a question.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Scale factor = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using similar triangles
AT/AG = AB/AC
9/3 = x+10/3x-10
Cross multiply
3(x+10) = 9(3x-10)
Expand
3x+30 = 27x-90
3x-27x = -90 - 30
-24x = -120
x = 120/24
x = 5
For the larger triangle;
AC = 3x-10
AC = 3(5)-10
AC =15-10
AC = 5
AB = x+10
AB = 5+10
AB = 15
For the scale factor;
Since AT/AG = AB/AC
9/15 = 3/5
3*3/5*3 =3/5
Since the numerator and denominator of the larger triangle is multiplies by the same factor i.3 3. Hence the scale factor is 3
