THE EQUATION IS: (3 + x) / (11) = (3) / (2) SOLVE BY STEP: 3 + x = ((3) / (2)) * (11) 3 + x = ((3) / (2)) * (11) SIMPLFY: 3 + x = 16.5 x = 16.5 - 3 x = 13.5X IS EQUAL TO: x = 13.5 (decimal) Note convert to fraction if nessary
For this case by similarity of triangles we can use the following relationship: (3 + x) / (11) = (3) / (2) We clear the value of x: 3 + x = ((3) / (2)) * (11) 3 + x = ((3) / (2)) * (11) 3 + x = 16.5 x = 16.5 - 3 x = 13.5 Answer: The value of x is: x = 13.5 or equivalently: x = 27/2
