Solve for x using multiplication.
cross
X - 2
x3
x + 2
=
4
3
x = [?]

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 4(x-2) = 3(x+2) [Cross Multiplication]

=> 4x - 8 = 3x + 6

=> 4x - 3x = 8 + 6

=> x = 14 (Ans)

the answer is 48m^2!

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
