It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
-5= x/2.4
multiply both sides by 2.4 to isolate x
-5*2.4= (x/2.4)*2.4
12=x
Answer: The number of cubic yards of concrete that are needed is 720.
Step-by-step explanation: The same formula for this type of shape stays the same: l*w*(h or d).
240 * 4 = 960
960 * 0.75 = 720
Y+6=7/1(x-6)
y=7/1x-48
hope that helps!
