What is three minus X equals 11

x= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable

Divide the variable by -1 so it can become positive; whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.

You'll end up with the equation of x= -8 if you do it correctly

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
