Answer:

a. x = 5, AB = 14, BC = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Both triangles are similar, therefore their side lengths are proportional to each other.

Thus:

$\frac{2x + 4}{x + 3} = \frac{7}{4}$

Cross multiply

$4(2x + 4) = 7(x + 3)$

$8x + 16= 7x + 21$

Collect like terms

$8x - 7x = -16 + 21$

$x = 5$

✔️AB = 2x + 4

Plug in the value of x

AB = 2(5) + 4

AB = 14

✔️BC = x + 3

Plug in the value of x

BC = 5 + 3

BC = 8

Answer:

B. you need atleast one variable for an algebraic expression.

an equals sign would make it an algebraic equation,

just a coefficient and a variable is the most basic algebraic expression. you don't need anything other than those for an expression. you can have more than one number, and more than one operation, but they don't have to be there.

Answer:

22 more gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Car A's fuel efficiency is 34 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Car B's fuel efficiency is 23 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Question asked:

At those rates, how many more gallons of gasoline would car B consume than car A on a 1,564 miles trip?

Solution:

Car A's fuel efficiency is 34 miles per gallon of gasoline.

By unitary method:

Car A can travel 34 miles in = 1 gallon

Car A can travel 1 mile in = $\frac{1}{34} \ gallon$

Car A can travel 1564 miles in = $\frac{1}{34} \times1564=46\ gallons$

Car B's fuel efficiency is 23 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Car B can travel 23 miles in = 1 gallon

Car B can travel 1 mile in = $\frac{1}{23} \ gallon$

Car B can travel 1564 mile in = $\frac{1}{23} \times1564=68\ gallons$

We found that for 1564 miles trip Car A consumes 46 gallons of gasoline while Car B consumes 68 gallons of gasoline that means Car B consumes 68 - 46 = 22 gallons more gasoline than Car A.

Thus, Car B consumes 22 more gallons of gasoline than Car A consumes.
