Okay, I worked it out and yes, it is a factor. Once you got x=-10, then you plug it into your formula. from there you can work it out like I did and get the answer. You can also input it into a scientific calcuator and figure it out that way. If you need any more help, go ahead and message me. Hope this helps. You can also but it into the box and divide it that way to find out. whichever way is better for you
C. 2 games that cost a total of $10.00
The answer is B, rad 2 over 2
ABCSolve for x
x + 30 + 2x - 4 + 4x = 180 All triangles have 180°. collect like terms.
7x + 26 = 180 subtract 26 to both sides.
7x = 154 Divide by 7
x = 154/7
x = 22
A = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52
B = 2x - 4 = 2(22) + 30 = 44 - 4 = 40
C = 4x = 4*22 = 88
Check<A + <B + <C = 180
<52 + <40 + <88 = 180°
180 = 180
It checks and we are done with this triangle.

2x + 8 + x + 18 + 5x - 22 = 180 Collect the like terms.
8x + 4 = 180 Subtract 4 from both sides.
8x = 180 - 4
8x = 176 Divide by 8
x = 176 / 8
x = 22
A' = 2x + 8
A' = 2(22) + 8 = 44 + 8 = 52
B' = x + 18 = 22 + 18 = 40
C' = 5x - 22 = 5*22 - 22 = 110 - 22 = 88
ConclusionA = A'
B = B'
C = C'
All three angles of one triangle are equal to all three angles of the other. So by AA the two triangles are similar.
CommentNote: the dilation of 12 has nothing to do with this answer. If you were asked about similarity of sides then the 12 would be something to do with the problem.
3/10+ 5/8
First find a common denominator
multiply top and bottom the same
12/40 +25/40
add
37/40
