Karl makes a scale drawing for a crate with a scate factor
of 1:12. The dimensions his scale drawing are 10 inches
long by 8 inches wide. The builder creates a scale drawing
of the crate with a scale factor of 13.
What are the dimensions of the builder's scale drawing?

its 50 miles away from the starting point

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
