The triangles are similar. What is the value of x?

Enter your answer in the box.

x =

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar so we can use ratios

4x+12      32

 =

15             8

Using cross products

(4x+12) *8 = 15 * 32

(4x+12) *8 = 480

Divide each side by 8

(4x+12) *8/8 = 480/8

4x+12 = 60

Subtract 12 from each side

4x+12 -12 = 60-12

4x = 48

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

each side of the smaller triangle, we can multiply by 4 to get the side of the larger triangle

ex: 8*4=32 and 17*4=68

so we can assume that 15*4= 4x+12

60=4x+12

48=4x

x=12

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
