Question

It’s simple math I’m just confused

Answer 1

26 units

Explanation:

make a proportion: so sides correspond alongside eachother.

so, 15/10 =24/Y, i know you need to solve for x, but you have to find the other blank length.

now cross multiply, 10*24=15*Y

240=15Y

240/15=

Y= 16

now add Y to the length 10 to get X. So you get 10+16=26
