The answer would be none. None of the other answered make sense
28/11.2 = 2.5
since they are similar and openly stated as parrallelograms, you know that they have a scale of the longest edge of EFGH to the longest edge of JKLM
So for me, how I would do it is move the variables and numbers to one side. So we have the equation 3x-3=2/5x+7. So you would subtract 2/5x to the left side and add 3 to the right side. The equation will then turn out to be 3x-2/5x=7+3. Much more easier right? So just simplify both side, and you will get 13/5x=10. In order to isolate x, you have to divide 13/5 in both side, leaving x= 3 11/13 or 50/13. You can always plug the answer back in to double check :)
First you need to distribute the 9.
So 9 times 3 and 9 times 2
The Algebraic should look like now: (27^3x-18)
So the final answer is: 
You cannot simplify it anymore because there are <u>no like terms left.</u>
18. $18 + $16 + $6 = $40
20. $300 - [3($39) + 2($62)]
= $300 - ($117 + $124)
= $300 - $241
= $59
Therefore, yes, he has enough money.
22. L = 26 W = 14
Perimeter = 26 + 26 + 14 + 14
= 80
Cost = 80ft * $13/ft
= $1040
