Hi! From what I know, your answer should be 5n = 1.75.
This is because all 5 of those n's ultimately equal the large box of 1.75 on the top. Think of it as fractions. if we replaced 1.75 with 1, those n's would each be 1/5.
Answer:
I believe the answer is x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>3x</em> and<em> 4x-1 </em> are corresponding sides and so are <em>14</em> and <em>18</em>.
You cross multiply with the smaller triangle lengths at the top.
3x/(4x-1)= 14/18
Cross multiply to get
18(3x)= 14(4x-1)
54x=56x-14
Subtract 54x on the other side and add 14 to the other (or subtract 56x to the other side)
you get 14=2x and divide 14 by 2 to get x=7
Well that's easy. Just plug in the numbers: 3*(-2)+4*(5)=14. So yes the solution is correct.
