Steps to solve:
3(x - 1) = 5x + 3 - 2x
~Distribute left side
3x - 3 = 5x + 3 - 2x
~Combine like terms
3x - 3 = 3x - 3
~Subtract 3x to both sides
-3 = -3
~Add 3 to both sides
0 = 0
All real numbers are solutions.
Best of Luck!
x y
------ -----
-9 -2
-5 -7
-1 -12
3 -17
ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4
If anything is not clear, just ask me.
Applying a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor 
has the effect of multiplying both coordinates of a point by :
So, in your case, the coordinates of the points double:
Pretty simple, really - all you have to do us divide 509 by 14 before you're left with an answer of <span>36.35. Now, the number '36' is closer to 0 than 100, so we'll round down instead of up, therefore the number of floors to the building is 36! </span>
