The blueprint of a concrete patio has a scale of 2 inches = 3 feet. On this blueprint, the width of the patio is 12 inches. You want to create a NEW blueprint using a scale of 1 inch = 2 feet. What will be the width of the patio on your new blueprint?

Step-by-step explanation:

of the blueprint is of the actual concrete patio.

So of the blueprint = of the actual concrete patio

Width of the patio in the blueprint is .

So of the blueprint = of the actual concrete patio.

Now for the new blueprint of the actual concrete patio.

of the actual concrete patio = of the new bluprint.

So, of the actual concrete patio = of the new blueprint.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
