Answer:
x = 24.5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two similar triangles. In similar triangles the sides are in proportion.
Let's name big triangle as triangle 1 and small triangle as triangle 2.
The sides of the big triangle:
27 as base and the longest side (x + 7)
The sides of the small triangle:
base = 27 - 6 = 21
longest side = x
We need to find the value of x using proportion.
27/21 = (x + 7)/ x
By cross multiplying, we get
27(x) = 21(x + 7)
27x = 21x + 147
27x - 21x = 147
6x = 147
Dividing both sides by 6, we get
x = 147/6
x = 24.5
The value of x = 24.5
Hope you will understand the concept.

Answer: 11 party bags with 1 sticker leftover
Each bag contains 4 bubbles, 8 stickers, and 5 pencils.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Find the GCF of 44 (bubbles), 89 (stickers), and 55 (pencils)
44: 2 x 2 x <u>11</u>
89: prime so choose 88 with 1 leftover
88: 2 x 2 x 2 x <u>11</u>
55: 5 x <u>11</u>
GCF = 11
Disregard the GCF to see how many of that item should go in each bag.
Bubbles: 2 x 2
Stickers: 2 x 2 x 2
Pencils: 5
