We need to notice that SSSS does not exist as a method to prove that parallelograms are congruent
Counterexample
As we can see we have the same measure of the side of the intern angles of the figures are different therefore we can't use SSSS to prove congruence
4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)
36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
72 - 4.5x = 42 - 7.5x
-4.5x + 7.5x = 42 - 72
3x = - 30
x = -30/3
x = -10 <===
Hope this helps!
Caution: you need to use the same units of measurement throughout. If the spring stretches by 21 cm when a 135 newton object is attached, then you must ask for the mass (in newtons) of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm.
We will need to assume that the spring is not stretched at all if and when no object is attached to the spring.
Write the ratio
21.0 cm 135 newtons
------------- = --------------------
62.1 cm x
Solve this for x. This x value represents the mass of a fish that would stretch the spring by 62.1 cm. You can cancel "cm" in the equation above:
21.0 135 newtons
------ = --------------------
62.1 x
Then 21.0x = (62.1)(135 newtons). Divide both sides of this equation by 21.0 to solve it for x.

The Right expression is:
x-3x10-13
The answer is approximately -36
