Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔBRD and ΔQCD are similar, hence the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
note that BD = 26 + 39 = 65
substitute values into the ratio equation
=
( cross- multiply )
65x = 39(x + 18)
65x = 39x + 702 ( subtract 39x from both sides )
26x = 702 ( divide both sides by 26 )
x = 27

For step 1 we should flip the equations.
6x + 8 = y
For step 2 we should add -8 to both sides.
6x + 8 + − 8 = y + −8
= 6x = y − 8
For step 3 we should divide both sides by 6.
= x =
