What is the value of x?

Question 3 options:

3 cm

4 cm

5 cm

4.5 cm

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know these are similar triangles, so we can use ratios of side lengths

x/40 = 4/32

Using cross products

32x = 4*40

32x = 160

Divide each side by 32

32x/32 = 160/32

x =5

answer: c i think

step-by-step explanation:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
