What is the answer for x

x = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by assuming the triangles were congurent, if they are not, the answer may vary.  

first, make an equation:

x + 8 = 3x - 9

bring 3x to the other side, by subtracting it

-2x + 8 = -9

Subtract 8

-2x = -17

divide by -2

x = 8.5

Then, just sub x into the formulas

answer: $201

step-by-step explanation: to get the answer, you first get 3 nieces that he sold and multiply it by 67 and get $201, so he earned $201 selling his nieces.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
