Can someone please help me!
SOLVE FOR X

Answer 1

x =3.375

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the smaller triangle side length over the larger triangle side length.

6+x 12

---------- = -----------

25 32

(6+x) *32 = 12*25

Distribute

192 +32x = 300

Subtract 192 from each side

192-192 +32x = 300-192

32x =108

Divide by 32

32x/32 = 108/32

x =3.375
