36..? honestly i don’t know haha
The 20 represents the specific section, the 8 adds onto that side making the full side 8.
-> See attached
Using this, we can set up a proportion to solve;
<em>Sides of the smaller triangle are on the top, and sides of the larger triangle are on the bottom</em>
[Proportion we made]

[Cross-multiply]
20x = 140
[Divide both sides of the equation by 20]
x = 7 ✓
This is how they reached 7, I hope this answer explains it so you can understand.
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

Answer:The answer is B) -3+(n-1)(-7);-171
Step-by-step explanation:
12^x - 2 = 20
12^x = 22
x log 12 = log 22
x = (log 22)/(log 12)
The rest is a calculator exercise. Use any base log you like, as long as both are the same base. (The right side is really the base-12 logarithm of 22, but nobody has a base-12-log key on their calculator.)
