Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{2x+1}{x+4}$ = $\frac{40}{25}$ = $\frac{8}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(2x + 1) = 8(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

10x + 5 = 8x + 32 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x + 5 = 32 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 27 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 13.5 → d

Find the values of x work 10% of my grade

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add all angles

$115+(x+36)+24+(2x+10)+2x$

= $5x+185$

2. Match 360 and fix

$5x+185=360$

$5x=360-185$

$5x=175$

$x=175/5$

$x=35$

Hope this helps
