What is the value of ? show your work help please.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming ΔJKL and ΔMNP are similar as you wouldn't be able to solve it otherwise. ∠J≅∠M and ∠K≅∠N, so I assume its just a poorly formed question.

With that assumption made, if 2 triangles are similar, the scale factor on all sides are equal. That means this:

The scale factor is just the new length divided by the old length, and that equation shows the scale factor on both of those side lengths are the same. With 3 of the 4 side lengths, you can plug those values in and solve for the last unknown.

I use cross multiplication here:

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
