Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio

24:2x-4=x+8:42

24/2x-4=x+8/42

24×42=(x+8)(2x-4)

1008=2x(x+8)-4(x+8)

1008=2x²+16x-4x-32

1008=2x²+12x-32

1008+32=2x²+12x

1040=2x²+12x

0=2x²+12x-1040

OR

24/2x-4=x+8/42

LCM=42(2x-4)

42(2x-4)×24/2x-4=42(2x-4)×x+8/42

42×24=(2x-4)(x+8)

1008=2x(x+8)-4(x+8)

1008=2x²+16x-4x-32

1008=2x²+12x-32

1008+32=2x²+12x

1040=2x²+12x

0=2x²+12x-1040

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll answer the question, but before I do, let me crab about the reliance on a diagram. You should never have to answer a question where you make assumptions about the diagram. It should state the the longest leg in one triangle = 2x - 4, and the hypotenuse in the larger triangle is 42, while in the smaller one it is x + 8\

Added to which you have to state that there is a ratio between the large triangle and the small one.

24/(2x - 4) = (x + 8)/42             Cross Multiply

24*42 = (x + 8)*(2x - 4)             Remove the brackets. Combine the left

1008 = 2x^2 - 4x + 16x - 32     Combine the right   and switch

2x^2 + 12x - 32 = 1008             Subtract 1008

2x^2 + 12x - 1040 = 0                Divide by 2

x^2 + 6x - 520  = 0

(x + 26)(x - 20) = 0

x = - 26 which has no meaning

x = 20 which is the answer.

2x - 4 = 2*20 - 4 = 36

x + 8 = 28

I'm not sure what you want -- the side lengths or just x.

The parallelogram shown below has an area of <br> 20 units squared. Find the missing base
valkas [14]

Answer: 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is A=bh. SInce we know the area and the height, we can directly plug the values into this equation and solve for the base.

20=b(4)         [divide both sides by 4]

b=5 units
