Hmm, I'm not very sure, as I'm not so good at geometry, and I don't want to mislead you, sorry.

4. anonymous

okay thanks could you try another problem? is there anyone else who could help me?

5. Astrophysics

@phi is good at these kinds of problems

6. anonymous

ok thanks

7. Astrophysics

Np, good luck!

8. anonymous

thanks!

HI!!

10. misty1212

you could try $\frac{2x}{15}=\frac{x+2}{12.5}$

11. misty1212

start with $12.5\times 2x=15(x+2)$ and solve for $$x$$

12. Astrophysics

Ah, so this one requires a ratio to, like your last question, thanks @misty1212

hold on im sloving it

@misty1212

17. Astrophysics

Nope, you may have messed up somewhere, $(12.5)(2x)=15x+30$

18. anonymous

25x=15x+30

19. Astrophysics

$25x=15x+30$

20. Astrophysics

Yes

21. Astrophysics

Keep going

22. anonymous

ok

23. anonymous

10x=30?

24. Astrophysics

Yup, one more step

25. anonymous

x=3?

26. Astrophysics

Yes!

27. anonymous

ok thanks! i need help with a few more!
