Y= 50 + 2x y = 40 + 2x which statement about the pair of equations is true? a) the pair has no solutions because the equations are dependent. b) the pair has no solutions because the equations are not consistent. c) the pair has an infinite number of solutions because the equations are dependent. d) the pair has an infinite number of solutions because the equations are independent.

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
