The sum of 8 times a number and 7.....sum means add
8n + 7
is twice the number...is means equals
= 2n
so we have : 8n + 7 = 2n
Given:
A figure of dilation and the center of dilation is O.
To find:
The value of y.
Solution:
The distance between center and vertex of image (d') is proportional to the distance between center and the corresponding vertex of original figure (d).



Where, k is the scale factor or constant of proportionality.
So, the scale factor for the given dilation is



We know that,




Divide both sides by 9.



Therefore, the value of y is 12.
If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent . The graphs of the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.
An <em>imaginary number</em>. The defining property of an imaginary number is that has the number i attached to it, where i² = -1.
A few examples of imaginary numbers: 3i, i, -7i, (√3)i, (1/2)i
