Question

Need help asap my dudes

Answer 1

X = 14

Explanation:

30 = 5x + 2

25 60

multiply both sides by 60

1800/25 = 5x + 2

Multiply both sides by 25

1800 = 25 (5x + 2)

1800 = 125x + 50

-50. -50

1750 = 125x

divide both sides by 125

14 = x

Answer 2

x=14

Explanation:

Similar Shapes

Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar.

If two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal.

We are given two similar shapes and the lengths of two corresponding sides:

25 corresponds to 30

60 corresponds to 5x+2

According to the definition:

`\displaystyle (5x+2)/(60)=(30)/(25)`

Multiplying by 60*25:

`25(5x+2)=60(30)`

Operating:

`125x+50=1800`

Subtracting 50:

`125x=1800-50=1750`

Dividing by 125:

`x = 1750/125 =14`

x=14
