Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and larger one are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

8/4 = (8 +(x -1))/5

10 = x +7 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and simplify

3 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The short segments are also proportional:

(x -1)/(5 -4) = 8/4

x -1 = 2 . . . . simplify

x = 3 . . . . . . add 1

Retro Rides is a club for owners of vintage cars and motorcycles. Every year the club gets together for a ride. This year, 53 ve

kari74 [83]

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
