Answer:

-83

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+1)=number

x+(x+1)=-165

2x+1=-165

-1         -1

2x=-166

/2     /2

x=-83

We can check our work by adding -83+-82=-165 because -83 would be the smaller number.

-83.

The triangles below are similar. Find x showing the proportion and all work.
zavuch27 [327]

we are given that

two triangles are similar

so, the  ratio of their sides must be same

we get

\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{x+2}

now, we can solve for x

step-1: Cross multiply both sides

2(x+2) =6x

step-2: Simplify left side

2x +4 =6x

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x

2x +4-2x =6x-2x

4 =4x

step-4: Divide both sides by 4

x=1

so,

x=1............Answer
