Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it's another one of those similar triangles

it's easier to see this one.

t /c = u / b

where

t = 7x + 3

c = 27

u = 35

b = 21

plug in the knowns

7x + 3 / 27 = 35 / 21

7x + 3 = 27 ( 35 / 21 )

7x + 3 = 9 ( 35 / 7 ) ( divided by 3 )

7x + 3 = 9 ( 5) ( 7 into 35 =5 )

7x + 3 = 45

7x = 45 - 3

7x = 42

x = 6

I checked it, the ratio is 1_2/3 :) for both, but you can check it too

Answer:

$f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

$\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}$

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

$=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\$

We can now cancel out (x+2)

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}$

Next we factor out even more:

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}$

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}$

And we can now simplify it to:

$=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}$
