The answer is A because when a question asks how much is left it typically means that you will need to subtract.
Answer:
b. 7+21
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do 1+3=4 and then 4 times 7 that equals 28. When you do 7+21 that equals 28 too. So b is the answer
I believe the correct answer is true. <span>When solving a system of linear equations, try to algebraically form one equation that has only one variable. In this way, you can solve the value of that variable and eventually solve the other variables. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Answer:
a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS
b) x = 28 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2
The right side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.
Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:
12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x
__
The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:
x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12
x = 28 1/3
