Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
it's another one of those similar triangles
it's easier to see this one.
t /c = u / b
where
t = 7x + 3
c = 27
u = 35
b = 21
plug in the knowns
7x + 3 / 27 = 35 / 21
7x + 3 = 27 ( 35 / 21 )
7x + 3 = 9 ( 35 / 7 ) ( divided by 3 )
7x + 3 = 9 ( 5) ( 7 into 35 =5 )
7x + 3 = 45
7x = 45 - 3
7x = 42
x = 6
I checked it, the ratio is 1_2/3 :) for both, but you can check it too
A) 42x-12
6*7=42. 6*2=12
b) 21y
11+4+6=21

Problem: 2/7 (4+c)=6
1. 7/2 x 2/7 x (4+c)=7/2 x 6
2. 4+c=7 x 3
3. 4+c=21
4. c=21-4
Answer: c=17
