3x = x / 2
Mmc (2,1) = 2
6x = x
6x- x = 0
5x= 0
x = 0/5
x = 0
X=8.
Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF. The ratio would be:
24/(x-2) = 20/5
Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)
Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40
Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
Lauren =l
David=d
Bethany's =x
Amanda =y
l=x+13
d=y+11
lx=2y
<span>(x+13)x=2y
</span>


or

(x-20)(l-20)=d
<span>(x-20)(x+13-20)=y+11 </span><span>
</span>



so I believe its b
Hope this helps :)
