Question

Can someone please help me out!!?

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

`(10)/(8) = (3x-6)/(12)` --> Triangle Similarity Theorem

120 = 8(3x - 6) --> Cross Multiplying

120 = 24x - 48 --> Distributing the 8

24x - 48 + 48 = 120 + 48 --> Adding 48 on both sides

24x = 168 --> Simplifying

24x/24 = 168/24 --> Divide 24 on both sides

x = 7 --> Simplifying

Hope this helped! <3
