Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios of similar triangles to solve

The smaller triangle has sides a and 12  and the larger triangle has sides a+a+4  and 12+18  which combine to 2a+4  and 30

a               2a +4

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

12            30

Using cross products

30a = 12(2a+4)

30a = 24a +48

Subtract 24a from each side

30a -24a = 24a-24a +48

6a = 48

Divide each sdie by 6

6a/6 =48/6

a =8

Math help please? There are 12 more toy cars than toy trucks in a box with a total of 38 toy cars and toy trucks. How many toy t
dlinn [17]
Let, the number of toy trucks = x
Then, number of toy cars = (x + 12)

Now, we have: x + x+12 = 38
2x + 12 = 38
2x = 38 - 12
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13

So, there are 13 toy trucks in total.

Hope this helps!
