Question

Find the length x.
pls help

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

To find x we set up an equation as so:

`(4.5)/(x) =(6)/(8)`

Then we solve by multiplying 4.5 by 8 and 6 by x

`6x=36` Solve for x

`(6x)/(6) =(36)/(6)` x = 6

To check our answer when we substitute x or 6 we divide to make sure both sides equal the same number

`(4.5)/(6) =(6)/(8)` when divided both equals 0.75
