First set up a proportion because they are similar triangles:
9/3x-20 = (72+9)/(56+3x-20)
9/3x-20 = 81/3x+36
9(3x+36) = 81(3x-20)
27x+324 = 243x-1620
1944 = 216x
x = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 cm/72 cm=3x-20/56

3x-20=56/8. (9÷72=1/8)

3x-20=7

3x=7+20

3x=27

x=27/3

x=9

It is a ratio problem...

2 dogs need 144 feet = 2 : 144

Simplify the ratio = 1 : 72

Multiply both sides by 8 (8 dogs) = 1*8 :144*8

Simplify the ratio = 8 : 1152

8 dogs need 1152 feet of fencing

Hope this helps!
