X = 10
The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.
9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2
Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2
Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8
Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96
Subtract 6
9x = 90
Divide by 9
x = 10
Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

Answer:
- length: 29 ft
- width: 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the dimensions are integer numbers of feet, you're looking for factors of 580 that have a difference of 9.
580 = 1×580 = 2×290 = 4×145 = 5×116 = 10×58 = 20×29
The last pair of factors differs by 9, so ...
the length is 29 feet; the width is 20 feet.
X=-2.3

Your estimate of the baby pig's weight is 2 pounds. However the actual weight of it is only 16 pounds.
Let's solve for the percentage error of this.
=> 20 - 16 = 4 pounds
=> 4 / 16 = 0.25
=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%
Thus, you added 25% of the baby pig's weight
