Answer:
width= x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
l= 8x
Area = l*b
b= 8x^2-56x/8x
b= 8x(x-7)/8x
b= x-7
The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively. Form the ratio 7/12. The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively. Form the ratio x/5. Now equate these two ratios:
7 x
--- = ---
12 5
Solve this for x. One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x. x will be a fraction. Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.
I belive it would be B. because of the fact that they are parallel which means their slope should stay the same...but their y-intersept would change
