First, let's add all the x's.
x + x + x + x + x = 5x
5x - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
Now, let's add together all the 1's that are being added (not the 1 that is being subtracted from 5x).
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
5x - 1 + 3
3 - 1 = 2
5x + 2
There's no way you can actually solve this unless you know the value of x; without x's value, this is as simplified as the expression is going to get.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Yes, the triangles are simirar with a scale factor of 3/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We find the scale factor by dividing corresponding sides:
12/8=3/2
18/12=3/2
24/16=3/2
