If the two triangles are similar, then by definition we have that the quotient between two sides of a triangle is equal to the quotient between two sides of the second triangle.
We have then:
((3x) / (4x + 2)) = ((20) / (28))
Clearing:
3x = (20/28) * (4x + 2)
28 * 3x = (20) * (4x + 2)
84x = 80x + 40
84x-80x = 40
4x = 40
x = (40) / (4)
x = 10
answer
The value of x is 10

Answer:

D) 9:20 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Train A's route = 20 mins

Train B's route = 80 mins

80 ÷ 20 = 4

Therefore, Train B's route is 4 times the length of Train A's route.

Therefore, the time Train A and B will leave the station at the same time will be the first time Train B leaves after 8am.

1 hour = 60 minutes

8am + 80 minutes = 8am + 1 hr + 20 minutes = 9:20 am
