Question

Find the length x. pls help

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x we set up an  equation as so:

$\frac{4.5}{x} =\frac{6}{8}$

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

$6x=36$    Solve for x

$\frac{6x}{6} =\frac{36}{6}$    x = 6

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

$\frac{4.5}{6} =\frac{6}{8}$    when divided both equals 0.75
