Answer:
v=18
Step-by-step explanation:
26=8+v
<em>Swap sides:</em>
8+v=26
<em>Subtract 8 from both sides:</em>
8+v-8=26-8
<em>Group like terms:</em>
v+8-8=26-8
<em>Simplify the arithmetic:</em>
v=26-8
v=18
6x-2 when x = (5/6)
=6(5/6)-2
=5-2

Answer: b) 15.7
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Look at the z-table (below) to find 0.2500
Notice that the value is not on the table but is between 0.2486 and 0.2517 which are located on the z-table at 0.67 and 0.68
The given value is closer to 0.2486 so use 0.67 as the z-score.
Now, let's find the x-value using the formula: 

8/6 = 12/9
8/6 x 9/9 = 72/54
12/9 x 6/6 = 72/54
72/54 = 72/54
They are similar.
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR
