It's an isosceles triangle so both sides are the same. The missing side is 30
5 pounds=80 oz
6 quarts =192 fluid oz
9 liters =9000milliliters
This question is impossible to solve.
this is why:
if 4x-4=0
then x=1
so if 8x + 4 = 8
then x is false.
I get these question quite a lot in my GCSEs.
you have to prove why they are fake.
Make use of the fact that side lengths in similar triangles are proportional.
.. 30/18 = (20 +x)/20
.. 20*(30/18) -20 = x . . . . multiply by 20, subtract 20
.. 33 1/3 -20 = x . . . . . . . . evaluate the product
.. 13 1/3 = x
