Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
We are given the following in the question:
P = $8000
r = 6% = 0.046
n = 12
The compound interest is given by:
where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years.
Putting the values, we get,
Thus, after 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$
8/2.79 = 1/2.867, or $2.86 per each oz
15/5.54 = 2.707/1, or 2 oz for every 1 dollar
the 15 oz jar of salsa has the better unit rate
hope this helps
