Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substituting values
=
( cross- multiply )
21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute
21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )
x = 6 → C
Answer:
8/3 or 2.6666
Step-by-step explanation:
You have divided the first equation by 3 -- all except the 8. So you must divide the 8 by 3 giving you 8/3 which is 2 2/3 or 2.66666
Answer (x - 2y) = 8/3
