PLEASE HELPPPP!!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the polygons are similar, so we can form this ratio (x-1)/6 = 32/24 and cross multiply to get 24(x-1) = 6*32 can you take it from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the same for the other variable

@jim_thompson5910 not really :/ I'm bad at math D:

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

24(x-1) = 6*32 24(x-1) = 192 24x - 24 = 192 24x = 192 + 24 24x = 216 I'll let you finish

so from, 24(x-1)=6*32, simplify 6*32 and expand the bracket
