Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So first we notice that the traingles are similar which makes my work much easier.
27:42 can be simplified to 9:14.
That means x is 28
And sharks to dolphins is 12.
That means the smaller triangle is 27 18 12 and the bigger triangle is 42 28 and x. Try and do it yourself if you can't just comment and I'll help you :)
We will use the FOIL method to solve this.
(7x-7)(x+1)
Multiply 7x by x. Then, multiply 7x by 1. Then, multiply -7 by x. Then, Multiply -7 by 1.

Now, we need to simplify by combining like terms.

If you look, -7x and 7x are gone. This is because they cancel each other out.
I hope this helped and maybe consider giving me brainliest :)
