7. If JKL ~ NMP, find the x
help me! also show work so i won’t ask again

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on similar triangle;

14/49 = x+5/9x+1

Cross multiply

49(x+5) = 14(9x+1)

49x + 245 = 126x + 14

49x - 126x = 14 - 245

-77x = -231

x = -231/-77

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
