x=11
x is equal to 11 because you subtract 4x from both sides and then add 8 to both sides where you are left with 2x=22. After dividing by 2, you get x=11
The red arrows mean the lines are parallel. Since all angles are equal, the larger triangle is similar to the smaller one. Then corresponding sides have the same ratio
(4x -2)/9 = (3x+2)/12
x(4/9 -3/12) = (2/12) +(2/9)
x = (7/18)/(7/36) = 2 . . . . . . . . . corresponding to the 3rd selection
To find how much she can run in one minute we’re going to divide 800 by 5, to which we get 160.
She runs 160 meters in one minute.
We want to know how many meters she can run in 9 minutes.
160 * 9 = 1,440
She can run 1,440 meters in 9 minutes.
