1) x = 12
2) x = 23.1
3) x = 19
4) x = 16
5) x = 8
6) x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparing the sides of each triangle, we have;
1) =
Cross multiply to get,
(32 + x) * 24 = 32 * 33
768 + 24x =1056
24x = 1056 - 768
24x = 288
x = 12
2) =
cross multiply to have;
34x = 14 (33 + x)
34x = 462 + 14x
20x = 462
x = 23.1
3) =
cross multiply to have;
36 * 30 = 20(x + 35)
1080 = 20x + 700
1080 - 700 = 20x
380 = 20x
x = 19
4) =
cross multiply to have;
42.5(2x - 5) = 22.5(3x + 3)
85x - 212.5 = 67.5x + 67.5
collect like terms
85x - 67.5x = 67.5 + 212.5
17.5x = 280
x = 16
5) =
cross multiply to have;
(2x + 8)(x + 7) = (2x + 4)(x + 10)
2 + 14x + 8x + 56 = 2 + 20x + 4x + 40
2 + 22x + 56 = 2 + 24x + 40
collect like terms to have;
22x - 24x = 40 - 56
-2x = -16
x = 8
6) =
cross multiply to have;
82(2x + 8) = 28(7x + 4)
164x + 656 = 196x + 112
164x - 196x = 112 - 656
-32x = -544
x = 17
