Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is split into two similar triangles. They have the same shape but not the same size. To solve, write a proportion.

$\frac{56}{44.8}=\frac{35}{x+4}$

Cross multiply to solve for x.

56(x+4) = 44.8(35)

56x + 224 = 1,568

56x = 1,344

x= 24

The length of a rectangle 4 yd is longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 68 yd, find its length and width.

natulia [17]

w + 4

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

l l

l l w

l l

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

Perimeter would be the sum of all the sides so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w

Perimeter is 60 yards according to your problem so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w = 60 yds

1.Simplify/combine like terms:

w + 4 + w + w + 4 + w =

4w + 8 =

Now it's a 2-step algebra equation

4w + 8 = 60

2.Subtract 8 on both sides

4w = 56

3.Divide both sides by 4

w = 14

21 cars, 32 motorcycles.
create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
$\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.$
subtract terms
$\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right. = (-2x = -42)$
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32
