Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12

I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?

Need help using synthetic division!

Answer:

$3x^{2} -3x+8-\frac{9}{x+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're dividing the polynomial by $(x+1)$ , we'll be using -1 to start the division.

Before setting the division up, let's list the coefficients of $x$ from descending powers and the constant.

The coefficient of $x^{3}$ is 3

Since we don't see an $x^{2}$ , the coefficient will be 0.

The coefficient of $x$ is 5.

Lastly, the constant, which is the term without the $x$ is -1.

Refer to the attached picture before continuing.

After referring to the picture, we now have the coefficients for the quotient.

The coefficient of $x^{2}$ is 3.

The coefficient of $x$ is -3.

The constant is 8.

Lastly, since the last number is not zero, it's the remainder just like regular division. This can be tricky to remember, but -9 is not the actual remainder.

The remainder is actually $\frac{-9}{x+1}$ .
