Question

Solve for X Geometry, Just need a quick over view!

Answer 1

The value of X = 11

Step - by - Step Explanation

What to find? The value of x

To find the value of X, take the ratio of the sides.

`(2x+6)/(32)=(52.5)/(60)`

Cross -multiply.

`60(2x+6)=52.5(32)`
`60(2x+6)=1680`

Divide both-side of the equation by 60.

`\frac{\cancel{60}(2x+6)}{\cancel{60}}=(1680)/(60)`

2x + 6 = 28

Subtract 6 from both-side of the equation.

2x + 6 - 6 = 28 - 6

2x =22

Divide both-side of the equation by 2.

`\frac{\cancel{2}x}{\cancel{2}}=(22)/(2)`

x = 11

Hence, the value of X = 11
