Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and ratios. Put the small triangle side over the large triangle side.
9cm 3x -20
---------- = ---------------- We need to add the sides to get to the larger triangle
72+9 cm 3x-20 + 56
We can cross multiply to solve
9 * (3x-20+56) = (72+9) * (3x-20)
Simplify
9*(3x+36) = 81*(3x-20)
Distribute
27x +324 = 243x -1620
Subtract 27x from each side
27x-27x +324 = 243x-27x -1620
324 = 216x-1620
Add 1620 to each side
324+1620 = 216x
1944 = 216x
Divide each side by 216
1944/216 = 216x/216
9=x
6/ 1.5 = 4
4 cups of flour in one serving
8(1/4x + 3/4) -3 =17
First distribute which results in (8/4x + 24/4)-3 =17.
Now just simply simplify it into (2x+6)-3 =17
Then you combine like term : 2x+3 =17
Subtract 3 on both sides : 2x=14
Finally divide 2 on both sides to isolate x: x=7
