Khloe is thinking of a number that is 2 times the value of Carl's number. Khloe's number is also 2 more than 4 times the value of Carl's number. What is Khloe's number?

0 = 2c +2.

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get

0-2 = 2c +2 -2

-2 = 2c

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

-2/2 = 2c/2

-1 =c.

Plugging c=-1 in first equation,

k=2(-1) = -2.

So the answer is -2.

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

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
