Took me a minute to think.

Form ratios.

x, the small triangle, forms a ratio with 6, the big triangle.

The part of the side that is equal(with the dash) that is part of the small triangle is equal to 6-x, the big triangle.

Yes, you can cross-multiply here!

\frac{6}{x}  =  \frac{8}{6-x}

<em>Now,</em><em> </em>cross multiply.
P.S. Use distributive property.

36-6x = 8x

Add 6x on both sides.

36=14x

Divide by 14 on both sides.

x = \frac{36}{14} = \frac{18}{7}

Which statement is modeled by the expression?
Afina-wow [57]
A librarian has 150 books to be placed on shelves with an equal number of books on each shelf. If k is the number of shelves to be used, then 150/k is the number of books on each shelf.

Example : lets say there are 10 shelves.....so k = 10
150/10 = 15 books on each shelf.
