Answer 2

It comes back to 160 not 180 that's what im having trouble with are my calculations off?

Answer 3

By comparing their it sides\[\frac{6x+2}{4x+36}=\frac{45}{90}=\frac{35}{70}\]
\[\frac{6x+2}{4x+36}=\frac{45}{90}\]\[\frac{6x+2}{4x+36}=\frac{1}{2}\]\[12x+4=4x+36\]\[3x+1=x+9\]\[2x=8\]\[x=4\]
