Jerome is a co-owner of a small company and received 1/3 of the company’s profits this year. what were the company’s overall profits if jerome made $150,000? write an equation and solve

Let the total amount of profit from the company be x. Therefore, 1/3x = 150000. We can then solve this equation to find the toal profit.

1/3x = 150000

Multiply by 3 on both sides.

x = 450000

Thus, the total profit the company made is $450,000.

x = 450000 happy to help

yes because a quadrilateral is equal to 4 sides and a rhombus has 4 sides so technacly it is a quadrilateral.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
