How many times greater is y than x
To do this, we simply divide y by x
Apply law of indices
There are 3 ways of solving a simultaneous problem, substitution method, elimination method and Gauss-Jordan method. I'm gonna use the substitution method since it's easier and i think it would suit your level more.
First let's try solving for y since it's easier to start with.
Firstly we have to find an equation for x:
Great, now we can use the substitution method to find the value of y using the first equation:
Now we know that y=1 we can solve the first equation we made:
And the answer is
Double check:
And that's our final answer! (4,1)
Answer:
Your table is filled in below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is the ratio of image size to original size. In part (d), the image height is "blocks" while the original height is "feet". So, the units of the scale factor are "blocks/ft".
Sometimes a scale factor has units, like this, and sometimes it is expressed as a pure number. A map scale factor might be the pure number ratio 1 : 62500, or it could also be expressed with units as 1 in : 1 mile.*
__
* actually, these are slightly different scales. 1:62500 is about 0.98643 inches per mile.
