Question 1151964: “Janeel has a 10” x 12” photograph. She wants to scan the photograph, then reduce the result by the same amount in each dimension to post on her website. Janeel wants the area of the image to be 1/8 that of the original photograph.” I need help writing this in an equation and solving. The unit is factoring trinomials. Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
If she reduces her photograph "by the same amount in each direction", she will loose proportionality.
Usually, people tend to keep proportionality, when they reduce photographs.
It means, they reduce the photograph in the same ratio in each direction.
