4(x+2)=3(x-2)

Multiply the first bracket by 4

Multiply the second bracket by 3

4x+8=3x-6

Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)

4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6

x+8=-6

Move positive 8 to the right hand side

x+8-8=-6-8

x=-14

Check answer by using substitution method

Use x=-14 into both of the equations

4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)

-56+8=-42-6

-48=-48

Answer is -14- D)

Denver gets 5/19 of the dog food.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Fido have $\frac{42}{95}$ of the dog food (44.211 %), Engle have $\frac{28}{95}$ of the dog food (29.474 %) and Denver have $\frac{5}{19}$ of the dog food (26.316 %).

Step-by-step explanation:

If Denver gets $\frac{5}{19}$ of the dog food, then Engle and Fido share $\frac{14}{19}$ of the dog food. If Fido have $x$ of the dog food, then Engle have $\frac{4}{3}\cdot x$ such that:

$x + \frac{4}{3}\cdot x = \frac{14}{19}$

$\frac{5}{3}\cdot x = \frac{14}{19}$

$x = \frac{42}{95}$

Fido have $\frac{42}{95}$ of the dog food (44.211 %), Engle have $\frac{28}{95}$ of the dog food (29.474 %) and Denver have $\frac{5}{19}$ of the dog food (26.316 %).

Answer: F.) 7 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means completely equal in side lengths and angles. Think of this weird figure like 4 triangles that are see through and are covering a diamond underneath

Of those 4 "see through triangles", there are 3 equal to ΔABC

Now on the diamond underneath, there is another 4. Its hard to actually explain what I mean, but take two triangles from that dimaond. Theyre gonna be congruent to ΔABC.

That's 4 + 3 = 7 total triangles
