Your answer must be simplified. x-8<-1

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x-8<-1

Add 8 to each side to isolate x

x-8+8<-1+8

x < 7

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
