4 0

Answer:

\boxed{x = 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔJKL ~ ΔMNP

So, the sides of both of the triangles are proportional.

Taking proportionality of their sides.

\frac{JL}{JK} = \frac{MP}{MN}

=> \frac{20}{25} = \frac{4x-4}{30}

Cross Multiplying

20 * 30 = 25(4x-4)

600 = 100x - 100

Adding 100 to both sides

600+100 = 120x

700 = 100x

Dividing both sides by 100

700/100 = x

x = 7

How does the number of zeros in the product eight and five thousand compare to the number of zeros in factors? Explain.
Flura [38]
8X5000 is 40000. There's three zeroes in5000 and no zeroes in 8, yet there are 4 zeroes in the answer. This is because you must multiply the non-zeroes, and then add the zeroes from your factors. 8 times 5 is 40, add 3 zeroes to get 40000.
Hope this helps!
