The answer is: " x = 2.833333333333...." .

___________________________

or: write as: " 2 $\frac{5}{6}$ " .

___________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

___________________________

Set up a ratio:

Note: Segment FH = (x + 35)

Segment JL = 20 ;

Segment FH ~ Segment JL ;

___________________________

Note: Segment GH = (x - 4) ;

Segment KL = 5 ;

Segment GH ~ Segment KL .

___________________________

So, ( x + 3.5) : 20 :: (x-4) : 5 ;

Write this ratio in fraction format:

___________________________

→ $\frac{(x+3.5) }{20 } = \frac{(x-4) }{5}$ ;

Now; "cross-factor multiply" :

→ $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d }$ ; → ad = bc ; { ${ a\neq0 ; b\neq0 ; c\neq0 ; d\neq0$ .}.

___________________________

So:

5(x + 3.5) = 20(x - 4) ;

___________________________

→ To simplify, start by divide each side of the equation by "5" ;

___________________________

→ {5(x + 3.5) } / 5 = { 20(x - 4) } / 5 ;

to get:

→ (x + 3.5) = 4(x - 4) ;

___________________________

Now, on the right-hand side of the equation;

let us expand the expression;

___________________________

We have the expression: " 4(x - 4) " ;

To expand:

Note the "distributive property of multiplication:

→ a(b + c) = ab + ac ;

Likewise:

→ 4(x - 4) = 4x - 16 ;

___________________________

Now, we can rewrite our equation:

___________________________

→ " x + 3.5 = 4x - 15 " ;

Now, we can subtract "x" from each side of the question;

& add "15" to each side of the equation; as folllows:

___________________________

→ x + 3.5 = 4x - 15 ;

- x + 15 = - x +15

___________________________

to get: 8.5 = 3x ;

↔ 3x = 8.5 ;

Now, divide each side of the equation by "3" ;

to isolate "x" on one side of the equation;

& to solve for "x" ; as follows:

→ 3x / 3 = 8.5 / 3 ;

to get: x = 8.5 /3

= 2.83333333333 ;

or; write as: " 2 $\frac{5}{6}$ ."

Hope this is helpful to you! Best wishes!

Jace wrote a sentence as an equation. 56 is 14 more than a number. 14+ = 56 which statement best describes jace's work? jace is not correct. the phrase more than suggests using the symbol > and jace did not use that symbol. jace is not correct. he was correct to use addition, but the equation should be 56+ p = 14 jace is not correct. the first number in the sentence is 56, so the equation should start with 56. jace is correct. the phrase more than suggests addition, so jace showed that 14 plus a variable equals 56. o
