You can try this way:
x - last year´s salary, raise: 4% = 0.04 ( 100%+4% = 104% = 1.04 )
x · 1.04 = 44,200
x = 44,200 : 1.04
x = 42,500
Last year´s salary was $42,500.

The two triangles are similar what is the value of x? <br> x=___

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to know is that when two triangles are similar their sides will always be proportional. So we will create a proportion that goes like this... $\frac{\Delta1side}{\Delta1base} =\frac{\Delta2side}{\Delta2base}$ but since it doesn't tell us the exact value of triangle 1. We will have to add 3 and 12 to get 15 which is the base of the first triangle. Now we're ready to write the proportion.
