I think that the answer would be two triangles.
Answer:
x = 12
(getting to the 20 character limit, please ignore this)
Since A and B are parallel lines, the two marked angles are congruent.
Then, 2x + 12 = x + 25
We can solve for x:
x = 13
You can solve <span>9/x-4/y=8 for x or for y but NOT at the same time.
Solving for x: </span><span>9/x-4/y=8 Mult all 3 terms by xy to eliminate the fractions.
9(xy)/x - 4xy/y = 8xy => 9y - 4x = 8xy, or 9y = 4x + 8xy = 4x(1+2y)
then 9y = x [ 4(1+2y) ]
9y
therefore x = ------------
4(1+2y)
Solve for y using a similar approach.

1 foot = 12 inches. If you multiply 12 by 12 and then add 5, you get 149. 149 is less than 162 so it will be able to fit!
