How do i solve this step by step? i dont know how to set up this equation

Answer 1

23

Explanation:

The markings show that the vertical line and the hypotenuse are bisected. That means that the common ratio is 1/2.

(x - 8) / 30 = 1/2 Cross multiply

2(x - 8) = 30 Divide both sides by 2

x - 8 = 30/2

x - 8 = 15 Add 8 to both sides

x-8+8 =15+8

x = 23
