Triangle ACD is an enlarged triangle of Triangle ABE

so an equation can be formed to solve this:


(3x)/(30) = (48)/(30 + 30)


(3x)/(30) = (48)/(60)


(3x)/(60) = (48)/(30)


180x = 1440


x = (1440)/(180)


x = 8

Answer:

D. x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ACD is an enlarged triangle of Triangle ABE

so an equation can be formed to solve this:


(3x)/(30) =
(48)/(30+30)


(3x)/(30) =
(48)/(60)

3x * 60 = 48 * 30

180x = 1440

x = 1440 ÷ 180

x = 8
