The product of -1.24 and 4.25 is -5.27
-16x+144=128
answer is 128x-80
If I’m correct then DE would be 15 and then AB would be 6.
Explanation: You would divide 24 by 8 and see by how much bigger triangle CDE is, and then for side DE you would multiply side BC by 3 and get 15, and then for side AB you would divide side DC by 3 and get 6! (I hope this helps)
The correct answer is x= -1 or -3
