X=8.

Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF.  The ratio would be:

24/(x-2) = 20/5

Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)

Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40

Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x

For the equation given below, evaluate y′ at the point (−2,2)<br> xe^y−4y=2x−4−2e^2

Implicit differentiation
chain rule is important here

I'll show the steps partially
e^y+xe^yy'-4y'=2
xe^yy'-4y'=2-e^y
y'(xe^y-4)=2-e^y
y'=\dfrac{2-e^y}{xe^y-4}
now evaluate for (-2,2)
x=-2 and y=2
y'=\dfrac{2-e^2}{-2e^2-4}
y'=\dfrac{2-e^2}{-2e^2-4}
y'=\dfrac{e^2-2}{2e^2+4}
that's it, simplest form
