Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Red:black = 1:1
Red cards = x
Black cards =x
x + x = 48
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = 24
No. of red cards = 24
No of black cards = 24
Now 8 red cards are removed
So, No. of red cards = 24 - 8 =16
Red: Black = 16:24

Red: Black = 2:3
It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
