The answer will be 1 and n which make the sum equal n+1. Hope it help!
The first one is basically x^2 + 2x + 2
The second is x^2 + 2x + 4
If you added those both up, you'd get 2x^2 + 4x + 6 so your answer would be A.
The value of x is 20.
Solution:
Sides of one triangle are 2x – 4 and 39.
Sides of another triangle are x + 6 and 24.
<u>Property of similar triangle:</u>
<em>If two triangles are similar then their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in the same ratio.</em>

Do cross multiplication.




Divide by 2 on each of the term.

Solve using quadratic equation.



Ignore the negative term, because if you substitute this you will get a negative terms only. But length of sides cannot be in negative measures.
Therefore x = 20.
52 weeks in a year divided by 2 equals 26 pay periods. 32,385.60/26 = $1,245.60.
