=5/12
Answer:
x=2.65
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to figure out how much the length of the sides is changing between the equations. In this case it is changing by a factor of 2.5. Now we need to work backwards. First use this equation:

This is because whatever the length of the side with x is, will be 14/2.5. So divide both sides by 2.5:

Next, add 5 to both sides:

Then divide both sides by 4:

the solutions are
x1=-2
x2=0.811
</span>check
for x=-2
x^4+3x^3+3x2-3x-4
(-2) ^4+3(-2) ^3+3(-2) ^2-4=16+(-24)+12-4=0 ok
For x=0.811
(0.811) ^4+3(0.811) ^3+3(0.811) ^2-4=0.4326+(1.6002)+1.9731-4=0 ok
