Use the given similar triangles to find the value of x I need the answer fast please!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yuki888 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I believe the answer is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>3x</em> and<em> 4x-1 </em> are corresponding sides and so are <em>14</em> and <em>18</em>.

You cross multiply with the smaller triangle lengths at the top.

3x/(4x-1)= 14/18

Cross multiply to get

18(3x)= 14(4x-1)

54x=56x-14

Subtract 54x on the other side and add 14 to the other (or subtract 56x to the other side)

you get 14=2x and divide 14 by 2 to get x=7

It takes 0.5 gallon of cream to make 1 pound of butter.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.5 pounds of butter.

Explanation

X pounds for 0.25 gallons.

0.5 gallon of cream - 1 pound of butter

0.25 gallons of cream - X pounds of butter

Applying cross multiplication:

0.5X = 0.25

X = 0.25 over 0.5 or 0.25/0.5

X = 0.5

Therefor, you could make 0.5 pounds of butter with 0.25 gallons of cream.
