Answer:
what is your answer choice sweetie
Step-by-step explanation:
The blue one and the small purple one are similar because they have the same angles.
<span>I would contact your instructor, because I think there may be a typo in the original problem. I worked it out and got x = -4 </span>The steps go like this:
1. Distribute the 3 to each of 1/3x and 1. This gives you <span>x + 3 + 4</span> on the left side. Simplify that to x + 7.
2. Distribute the -4 to each of x and 3. This gives you -1 - 4x - 12 on the right side. Simplify that to -13 - 4x. Now you have <span>x + 7 = -13 - 4x.</span>
3. Subtract 7 from both sides.
4. Add 4x to both sides. Now you have 5x = -20 (This is the step Antwon gets to)
5. Divide by 5. You get <span>x = -4
