Hello!
First, let's analyze these two quadrilaterals:
• Notice that the quadrilateral AB'C'D is ,smaller ,than the quadrilateral ABCD.
Let's try to solve it using the lines AB and AB':
• The measurement of the ,line AB is 14 units,.
,• The measurement of the ,line AB' is 7 units,.
Knowing it, let's write the scale factor as:
Answer: alternative D.
To write this as an algebraic expression, remember that twice a number means that 2 is being multiplied by a number. Since we are not solving, we can just use the variable n to represent the number that is being multiplied by 2. Finally, adding 5 to the number we will get the expression 2n + 5.
