Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle and larger one are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.
8/4 = (8 +(x -1))/5
10 = x +7 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and simplify
3 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

<em>Alternate solution</em>
The short segments are also proportional:
(x -1)/(5 -4) = 8/4
x -1 = 2 . . . . simplify
x = 3 . . . . . . add 1
None of the above I believe
#3. For each hour worked, the employee makes $15/hour. This is true for every hour he works, so if he works for 4 hours he will make $60.

#5. X&Y are proportional because for every hour, 5 feet are gained. Thus, after 7 hours, 35 feet are gained.
Thats all i have time to do right now. Good luck :)
