Answer:
24 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
You use Pythagorean theorem. Since the normal equation is , you already have the
and another side which can be
or
.
Because you have the hypotenuse and a side , your equation looks like this now:
and when you solve for be you just subtract to get 24.
So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:
Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:
That x value is 20.
