Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

I guessed and checked which x value would make ABC proportional to DBE. If x=3, than DB=8 which is double BE. If x=3, than AB=14 which is double BC. Since it is proportional, It should be correct. I don't remember the actual way you solve this with a formula but this makes sense to me.

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve since the triangles are similar

x+5                   4

------------ = ---------------

x+5 +2x          4+3

Simplifying

x+5                   4

------------ = ---------------

3x+5             7

Using cross products

7(x+5) = 4(3x+5)

Distribute

7x+35 = 12x+20

Subtract 7x from each side

35 = 5x+20

Subtract 20 from each side

15 = 5x

Divide by 5

3 =x

You have 2\3 of a pizza left from yesterday. You divide it into 4 equal pieces. What fraction of the pizza is each piece?​
Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

that means we divide 2/3 by 4.

2/3 / 4 = 2/3 / 4/1 = 2/3 × 1/4 = 2/12 = 1/6

so each quarter of the remaining 2/3 pizza is actually 1/6 of the complete pizza.
