Write a proportion to find the value of each x

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles in both cases are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

(1)

= , substitute values

= ( cross- multiply ) ← proportion

3(x + 9) = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x + 9 = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 6

-----------------------------------------------------------

(2)

= , substitute values

= ( cross- multiply ) ← proportion

5(x + 5) = 36 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x + 5 = 7.2 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 2.2

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.

answer: -0.5 would be the most likley outcome
