Answer:
-2
Assumption:
Find the value of x such that 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms:
This is not too bad too factor on the left hand side since 2(2)=4 and 2+2=4.
So we need to solve:
Subtract 2 on both sides:
Let's check:
0 was the desired output of

Answer: 30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________
Area of a trapezoid, "A" = (1/2) ( b₁ + b₂) h ;
______________________________________________
or, write as: A = ( b₁ + b₂) h / 2 ;
___________________________________
in which: A = area;
b₁ = length of "base 1" (choose either one of the 2 (two bases);
b₂ = length of "base 2" (use the base that is remaining);
h = height of trapezoid;
____________________________________________
From the information given:
___________________________
A = 100 m² ;
h = 5 m
b₁ = 10 m
b₂ = x
___________________________
Find "x", which is: "b₂" ;
__________________________
A = ( b₁ + b₂) h / 2 ;
_____________________________
Plug in our known values; and plug in "x" for "b₂" ; and solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
100 m² = [(10m + x) (5m)] / 2 ; Solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
(10m + x) (5m) = (2)* (100m²) ;
_________________________________________________________
(5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
___________________________________________
Note: The distributive property of multiplication:
____________________________________________
a(b+c) = ab + ac ;
a(b−c) = ab <span>− ac ;
</span>____________________________________________
We have: (5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
____________________________________________
So: (5m) (10m + x) = (5m*10m) + (5m * x) ;
= 50m² + (5m)x ;
_______________________________________________
→ 50m² + (5m)x = 200m² ;
_______________________________________________
Divide the ENTIRE equation by "5m" ;
_______________________________________________
→ { 50m² + (5m)x } / 5m = (200m² / 5m) ;
_______________________________________________
→ 10m + x = 40m ;
________________________________________________
Now, subtract "10m" from EACH side of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________
→ 10m + x − 10m = 40m − 10m ;
to get:
→ x = 30 m ; which is our answer.

Answer: 30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .

Answer:
4.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the two fugures in the question above are similar, it means they have the same shape, even though they are if different sizes, the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional. Thus,
18/x = 8/2
Let's solve for x as required.
We have,
18/x = 8/2
=>Cross multiply:
18 × 2 = 8 × x
36 = 8x
=>Divide both sides by 8
36/8 = x
4.5 = x
x = 4.5 ft
The first option is our answer = 4.5 ft
