Answer:
x = 40 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you the triangles are similar and the smaller one is 1/2 the size of the larger one. Then x is half the length of the corresponding segment marked 81.
x = 81/2
x = 40 1/2
___
You may have to write it as 81/2 or as 40.5. Sometimes the answer needs to be in a particular form.

I uploaded the answer to a file hosting. Here's link:

Jays rate=80% kims rate=55.6% jay has a better rate take the number made and divide it by the number thrown.
Distribute -3 to parenthasees
-3(r+9)=-3r-27
now we have
-3r-27=-32
add 27 to both sides
-3r+27-27=27-32
-3r+0=-5
-3r=-5
divide both sides by -3
r=-5/-3
r=5/3
