Answer:

24 =x

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of one triangle over the same side of the other triangle.

44.8 x+4

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

56 35

Using cross products

44.8*35 = 56(x+4)

Distribute

1568= 56x+224

Subtract 224 from each side

1568-224= 56x+224-224

1344=56x

Divide each side by 56

1344/56= 56x/56

24 =x
