Can someone help me with this question plzz ( also to whoever asked for the brainlist sorry i didnt know you could choose who got it)

x - 8 = 3x

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are trying to solve for x, the first thing I would do is get the variable to one side. Subtract x from both sides to get this: -8= 2x. Next, divide both sides by 2 to get your final equation: -4 = x. So x = -4. Hope this helped!

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
