6-93. Alex and Maria were trying to find the side labeled x in problem 6-92. Their work is shown below. Alex: I noticed that when I multiplied

by 3. the sides of the triangle gor longer."

Maria: "I remember that when we were dilating shapes in

Lesson 6.2.2, my shape got bigger when I divided by

A..A

4.A

8.3 = 24

8

= 24

a. Look at each student's work. Why do both multiplying by 3 and dividing by - make the triangles larger?

b. Use Alex and Maria's strategy to write two expressions to find the value of y in problem 6-92.

step-by-step explanation:

b mark me branliest thx

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
