Answer:

\boxed{\boxed{x=4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are similar, then the sides are in proportion.

We have the equation:

\dfrac{3x+8}{4}=\dfrac{15}{3}             <em>cross multiply</em>

3(3x+8)=(4)(15)          <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

3x+8=(4)(5)

3x+8=20           <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

3x=12           <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

\boxed{x=4}

A collection of 36 coins consists of nickels, dimes and quarters. There are three fewer quarters than nickels and six more dimes
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

9 quarters, 12 nickels, and 15 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by naming the number of quarters x.

That means that the number of nickels is x+3.

(There are three fewer quarters than nickels)

The number of dimes would be x+6.

(There are six more dimes than quarters)

We know the total number of coins is 36.

We can set up an equation.

quarters+nickels+dimes=36

x+x+3+x+6=36

Combine like terms.

3x+9=36

Subtract 9 from both sides.

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3.

x=9

There are 9 quarters.

Use given info to find the number of other coins.

9+3=12

There are 12 nickels.

9+6=15

There are 15 dimes.
