Me I am very good at math I am a tutor
The correct option is Option 2: Firgure RST is similar to figure R’S’T’
X=-6
You get all the X to one side, and all the numbers to the other. Then divide. Work is shown in image below.
x= wildfires in 2003
163,476= 4x - 12,520
(163,476 + 12,520) / 4
x = 43,999 your answer is 43,999
X + 3 * 21 = 12
x + 63 = 12
x = 12-63
x = -51
The wording was a little odd, but I hope this is what you’re looking for!
