. Simplify the following expression by combining like terms:
(3x² + x - 2) - (4x² + x - 5).

-x²+3

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x² + x - 2) - (4x² + x - 5).

3x²+x-2-4x²-x+

3x²-2-4x²+5

-x²-2+5

-x²+3

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
