If triangle JKL~ Triangle MKN, find the value of x

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

= , substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

12(3x - 2) = 32(x + 1) ← distribute both sides

36x - 24 = 32x + 32 ( subtract 32x from both sides )

4x - 24 = 32 ( add 24 to both sides )

4x = 56 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 14

∞ this is your sign

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
