Answer:
Equation: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:
'three fourths a number' = 
'plus 8' = + 8
'is' =
'20 less' = - 20
'the number' = n
Put the expressions together:
'three fourths a number plus 8': 
'20 less than the number': n - 20
Set them equal to each other and solve:
Add 20 to both sides: 
Subtract 
from both sides: 
Multiply both sides by 
: 
Solve for n: n = 112

Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
It is convenient to remember the ratios of side lengths of these "special triangles."
The side ratios of ΔABC are 1 : 1 : √2, so BC = AC/√2 = 6.
The side ratios of ΔBCD are 1 : √3 : 2, so BD = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3.
The value of x is 3.
