Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{2x+4}{2x+4+4} = \frac{x+7}{x+7+3}

\frac{2x+4}{2x+8} = \frac{x+7}{x+10} ( cross- multiply )

(2x + 4)(x + 10) = (x + 7)(2x + 8) ← expand factors on both sides

2x² + 24x + 40 = 2x² + 22x + 56 ( subtract 2x² from both sides )

24x + 40 = 22x + 56 ( subtract 22x from both sides )

2x + 40 = 56 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2)

x = 8

2. A soccer field is bordered on three sides by a parking lot of width x. The total
notsponge [240]

Answer: 50m

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the logical way I solved it:

1. Find the area of the entire area thing

300*200=60000

2. Subtract the area of the field from the area of the entire place

60000-30000=30000

3. Divide the area of the parking by three because there are three sides

30000 ÷ 3 = 10000

4. Divide 10000 by 200, not 300 because we want to find the side with one <em>x</em>, not two <em>x</em> (there are two sides adding on to the side with 300, but only one side on the side with 200)

10000÷200= 50

I know the steps are weird, but I know this is the right answer because this was on the unit test (same misspelling and everything lol) and during tutoring my teacher showed me how to do it, but of course I had to forget the steps.

There are eight dogs at the veterinarian
kotegsom [21]

Answer: Treats are an essential part of positive reinforcement, rewards-based training, but you also need to be mindful to balance your dog’s treats with their overall daily calories. Give them too many treats and you won’t just spoil their appetite for actual meals, but you could also make your dog overweight and unhealthy.
