Answer:
The correct answer would be 2:5
Step-by-step explanation:
You’d set up a proportion. I did 25/15=7x-40/18.
Then you would cross multiply to get 15(7x-40)=450
Distribute the 15.
105x-600=450
Add 600 to both sides, so the -600 cancels out.
Then you’re left with 105x=1050
Divide both sides by 105 and you get x=10
Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,

Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
X needs to be a number that when 3 is added to it, becomes -1. So, adding 3 to -4 gives you -1, therefore, x=-4. Hope this helped!
