X = B.......x - 17 = A
x + x - 17 = 87
2x - 17 = 87
2x = 87 + 17
2x = 104
x = 104/2
x = 52........so state B has 52 electoral votes
x - 17 = A
52 - 17 = A
35 = A.....so state A has 35 electoral votes
Answer:
A) not similar
Step-by-step explanation:
for the triangles to be similar the side lengths must be proportional.
For example:
99/35 should be equal to 121/44 but when we do cross multiplying we see they are not equal therefore the the triangles are not similar.
