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
Answer:
x=25
Step-by-step explanation:
43=2x-7 (since the midpoint separate a line into two equal halves)
43+7=2x
50/2=x
25=x
<u> 8b - 7 = 7b - 2</u>
Subtract 7b from each side: b - 7 = -2
Add 7 to each side: <em> b = 5</em>
If Juan intends to put fencing around the enclosure, that means that we are looking at the perimeter of the image (the outside). We can count the amount of lines between the dots to determine how much fencing he will need. After counting the perimeter of this figure, we see that the total is 22. We do not know what the units are, so for now we can just say that he will need 22 units of fencing to fully enclose this shape.
