The red arrows show that the lines are parallel, but using the stuff given you can make an equation.
its hard to explain without drawing but starting from the 60 if you can make a Z you will get alternate angles and that mean that the given equation MUST be equal to 60. So,
8x-4=60
8x=60+4
8x=64
x=64/8
x=8 (is your answer)
hope you understand
I say 12 because that would mean the first rectangle is 6x12 and the second is 10x12
Population are always modeled by exponential growth equation given by:
f(x)=a(1+b)^t
where:
a=original number
b=rate of growth
t=time
thus
f(x)=412(1.05)^t
the population after 9 months will be:
f(9)=412(1.05)^9=639.15=639
We are given equation :




Therefore, final factored form it

We can't factor it more.
Therefore,
x+1=0.
x=-1.
Therefore, the real solution of the equation would be -1.
