Solve for x for 1 and 2

1. 37.5

2. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the smaller triangle and the bigger triangle are similar, so the sides are also similar.

this means that 16/46 = 20/(x+20)

then, just solve that for x

16/46 = 20/(x+20)

divide both sides by 4

4/46 = 5/(x+20)

multiply both sides by (x + 20)

(x+20) * 4/46 = 5

multiply both sides by 46

4x + 80 = 230

subtract 80

4x = 150

divide 4

x = 37.5

2. do the same thing ( still similar triangles)

the equation would be (3x + 1)/10 = (7x - 1)/22

solve

22(3x + 1) = 10(7x - 1)

66x + 22 = 70x - 10

32 = 4x

x = 8
