Answer:
26.7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because 26.7/20 = (16+26.7)/32
When two triangles are similar, it means their sides are also proportional. The reason why it is not ten is because you need to add 10 to 16 to the large triangle as well, which no longer makes it proportional.
To solve, you create a formula.
(16+x)/32=x/20
Multiply both sides by 32 to get rid of the 32 in the left side.
16+x=32x/20
Multiply both sides by 20 to get rid of the 20 right side.
320+20x=32x
-20x on both sides to get all the variables on one side and all the nukbers on the other.
320=12x
Divide both sides by 12 to get x by itself
x=26.66667
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
81 ft^2
Discussion:
The area of a square is (length of a side)^2. In this case,
Area = 9^2 = 81

Answer:
4 bags of chocolate chips and 1 bag of walnuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find how many ounces are in 3 pounds:
16 oz = 1 lb
16 oz × 3 = 3 lbs
48 oz = 3 lbs
Variable x = number of chocolate chips
Variable y = number of walnuts
4x + 1y = 15
Keep in mind it must equal up to 48 oz and be $15 or under.
4 bags × 12 oz = 48 oz
1 bag × 4 oz = 4 oz
48 oz + 4 oz = 52 oz > 48 oz
4 bags × $3 = $12
1 bag × $2 = $2
$12 + $2 = $14 < $15
Both requirements have been met.
Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway
x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3
x^3-y^3 which if factored is:
(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) which is what you started with :)
