X=2.00+15x
2.75=2.00+15x
-2.00 -200
75=15x
Divide each side by 15
x=5
Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
If you separate the triangles, you'll notice that both are literally the same triangle because all angles are the same.
Numerators will be equal after the multiplication.
The scale factor of dilation is 1/2 or
because the number of rectangle one is multiplied by 1/2 to make rectangle 2
good luck
