How do you you translate into Equation : Sue has 45 shells in her shell collection. Jared, who just started his collection, has 5 shells. Sue’s collection is how many times larger than Jared’s?

i think is g(1)=-1.

hope that i can

42.4

step-by-step explanation:

convert to decimal

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
