Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides are proportional.
BE/CD = AE/AD
20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)
20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)
In standard form, this is ...
3x^2 -15x -528 = 0
x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3
(x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
x = 16
__
This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.
Well the equation of this line is 
. Which means that for any value of y the x will always equal to 3/5, so the points (ordered pairs) for eg. are 
.

3x is the answer

We can just substitute y = 4x+1 in the second equation.
We know the value of x, substitute x in any equations to get the y-value.
The value of y is 3 and the value of x is 0.5 aka 1/2
Since you want the solution as a point then It's below here.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(47+1)/(3-6) = 48/-3 = -16
y + 1 = -16(x - 6)
y + 1 = -16x + 96
y = -16x + 95
