Answer:

The correct answer is x =9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the polygons are similar.

Then the ratio of  corresponding sides are equal.

<u>To find the ratio of corresponding sides</u>

corresponding sides are

16 and 12   ratio  = 12/16 = 3/4

32 and 24 ratio  = 24/32 = 3/4

x - 1 and 6

y + 1 and 21

Therefore we can write 6/(x-1) = 3/4

<u>To find the value of x</u>

6/(x-1) = 3/4

24 = 3(x-1)

24 = 3x - 3

3x = 27

x = 27/3

x = 9

Therefore the value of x = 9

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the given polygons are similar the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

This implies that;

\frac{x-1}{6}=\frac{16}{12}

We multiply both sides by 6 to obtain;

x-1=\frac{16}{12}\times 6

x-1=\frac{16}{2}

x-1=8

Group similar terms to get;

x=8+1

x=9

A restaurant's small salt shakers contain 0.6 ounces of salt. It's large shakers hold twice as much. The shakers are filled from
Ratling [72]
First you have to multiply the 0.6 of the small shakers times two which gives us 1.2 the amount of salt of the large shakers. divide the 18.6 by 1.2 which is 15.5 the amount going into the 8 shakers. Then subtract 15.5 from 18.6 which gives us 3.1. Then you divide that by 0.6 = 5. 5 small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt.
