Answer:
A. x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles/ratios
1. Substitute 2x + 7 = 39, 4x + 1 = 65
2. Find size ratio between the two figures, 5:3
3. Check for similarity - 39 x 5/3 = 65
Do 4 1/4 - 1/4 which is easy, just take away the 1/4 and you get 4, so he used 1/4 gallons
The answer is 14x.
You always have to do whats in the parenthesis first. In this case you would do 7 + x = 7x. Then, you add this 7x to the other 7 x. 7x+7x=14x.
