Question

Find the value of X: 28 507 20 10

Answer 1

x=28
12/30=y/25
y=10
10/8=25/x
x=28

Answer 2

Given the information, the value of x is 20.

Explanation:

For this problem, we have to find the ratio between the line segments in order to find the value of x.

We are already given two line segments that we can find the ratio for. We are given 30 and 12. In order to find the ratio, then we must divide 12 by 30.

12 ÷ 30 = 0.4

Now that we have our ratio, we can now divide 8 by 0.4 to find the value of x.

8 ÷ 0.4 = 20

So, the value of x is 20 which is the third answer choice in the problem.
