Find the value of x needed to make the equation below true.

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute and get -6x+20+4x=26

then simplify and get -2x=6

simplify again and get x=-3

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(1.5x-5)+4x=26

Simplify the problem:

-2x+20=26

Subtract 20 from both sides:

(-2x+20)-20=(26)-20

Simplify:

-2x=6

Divide both sides by -2

(-2x)/-2=(6)/-2

Simplify:

x=-3

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
