Answer:
24 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of one triangle over the same side of the other triangle.
44.8 x+4
------ = ----------
56 35
Using cross products
44.8*35 = 56(x+4)
Distribute
1568= 56x+224
Subtract 224 from each side
1568-224= 56x+224-224
1344=56x
Divide each side by 56
1344/56= 56x/56
24 =x
