We have been given the expression

We can rewrite the expression as 
In order to simplify the given expression, we can check if we have any common terms in the numerator and denominator.
We can write the term 72 which is in the numerator as 
Thus, the expression becomes

We can see that 4 is common in both numerator and denominator. Hence, we can cancel 4. Thus, we are left with

Therefore, we can rewrite the given expression as 54.
The length of OM is 4/3 the length of OJ, and the length of ON is 4/3 the length of OK. Thus, two pairs of sides from the triangles are proportional to each other.
Also, angle O from one of the triangles is equal to angle O of the other triangle because they are the same angle.
Thus, the two triangles are similar by SAS (side-angle-side) similarity theorem. This theorem is quite similar to the SAS congruence theorem.
To make a similarity statement, we just have to match corresponding parts when naming the triangle.
Similarity statement: ΔOJK~ΔOMN
Is my Guss is 300 by the fardes I can think of
10 I think because 10+10+8+8=36 and 8 is 2 less than 10
(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50
5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50
Combine in parens.
5 x (4 + x) = 42.50
Distribute.
20 + 5x = 42.50
Subtract 20 from both sides.
5x = 22.50
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 4.50
Thats the cost of each plant.
Check.
5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)
5 x 8.50 = 42.50
