Question

Solve for X plz plz plz plz

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B/c they are similar triangles we can set the sides ratio's equal to each other again

7x + 6 / 56  = 78 /91

does it kind of makes sense why I'm able to set those two ratio's equal?

it's the tough part of these problems... understanding why that works

the rest is just algebra.. My calc II professor always told us our algebra sucks. :D he was funny,

anyway, use your mad algebra skilz on the above equation

7x + 6 = 56(78/91)

7x + 6 = 4368 / 91

7x + 6 = 48

7x = 48 - 6

7x = 42

x = 6
