Answer:

x = 14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

As these triangles are similar, every side and angle corresponds and this is key to calculating this equation.

First, look at the side that is labeled x + 8 and find the corresponding side on the other triangle. Write this out as a fraction as shown below. Now find two corresponding sides that are both marked (the base lines) and write them out as a fraction as well (note that which ever triangle you are solving for, it's numbers will go on the top of the fraction)

\frac{x + 8}{36} = \frac{38}{60}

We want to get the x by its self and at the moment it is divided by 36. To remove the 36, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 36

36 x \frac{x + 8}{36} = \frac{38}{60} x 36

This cancels out both the 36s on the left leaving us with

x + 8 = \frac{38}{60} x 36

all that needs to happen now is to remove the +8 so we are just left with x. to do this, just subtract 8 from both sides and we are left with

x = \frac{38}{60} x 36 - 8

calculate 38 ÷ 60 x 36 - 8 = 14.8

∴ x = 14.8

I hope this was helpful and not too long :-)
