Nash is making a framed enlargement of a Mary Cassatt postage stamp to present to a retired postmaster. He enlarges the stamp using a scale of 2 inches to 1 centimeter. If the actual length of the stamp is 3 centimeters and its width is 5 centimeters, what are the dimensions of the scale picture? A. The length is 6 inches, and the width is 10 inches. B. The length is 1.5 inches, and the width is 2.5 inches. C. The length is 5 inches, and the width is 10 inches. D. The length is 5 inches, and the width is 7 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

answer: what is the question you're trying to ask?

step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
