x = -1.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 x - 12.5 = 0

Add 12.5` to both sides:

(12.5 - 12.5) - 8 x = 12.5

12.5 - 12.5 = 0:

-8 x = 12.5

Divide both sides of -8 x = 12.5 by -8:

(-8 x)/(-8) = 12.5/(-8)

(-8)/(-8) = 1:

x = 12.5/(-8)

12.5/(-8) = -1.5625:

x = -1.5625

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

if e is the midpoint of bd, then bd is 14.
