A triangle has side lengths 8, 7, 4. In a similar triangle the smallest side is represented by x + 5 and the longest side is represented by x - 3. What is the value of x?

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8/4 = (x+5)/(x-3)

cross-multiply:

8(x-3) = 4(x+5)

8x - 24 = 4x + 20

4x  = 44

x = 11

0.32

step-by-step explanation:

2.24/7

answer: the answer is one

step-by-step explanation:
