Answer:
"In each figure the total area is equal and the area of the 4 triangles is equal, so the remaining white area in each figure must also be equal."
Step-by-step explanation:
Both figures make up congruent squares, and they are made up of 4 congruent triangles, so the white area in between must be equal between the two figures
X = 3
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x
1. Distribute
8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x
2. Collect like terms
8x - 14 = 4 + 2x
3. Collect like terms again (add 14 and subtract 2x)
6x = 18
4. Divide by 6
x = 3
A: Speed is Independent as it can be anything with no restrictions. Gas mileage is dependent as it relies on the value of speed for its value to be decided.
B: The first letter of speed is "S" so it can represent the variable. The first letter of mileage is "M" so the variable can be represented by that letter. It really can be any letter.
