Answer: y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar basically means it's the same shape but bigger. Condiering how 16-9=7 which means each side is 7 bigger than the original shape. You subtract 7 from 12(side y) to get 5
Y-8=13
y=13+8
y=21
Hope this helps!

1) Let's write out both expressions subtracting 4m²+2mn+8n² from 2m²+6mn+2n²

2) Note that when we subtract 4m^2 + 2mn + 8n^2 from 2m^2 + 6mn + 2n^2 we need to swap the sign by placing -1 outside the parentheses and then combine like terms adding those terms algebraically.
Step-by-step explanation:
step one Distribute
x−45=8(2x+3)−18
x−45=16x+24−18
step two Subtract the numbers
x−45=16x+24−18
x−45=16x+24−18
