Answer:

Value of w = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB= 4w-4

BC = 2w-8

AC = 24

Find:

Value of w

Computation:

AB + BC = AC

4w - 4 + 2w - 8 = 24

6w - 12 = 24

6w = 24 + 12

6w = 36

w = 6

Value of w = 6

$\bf \cfrac{75}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{100}{1}}{\frac{47}{5}}\implies \cfrac{75}{x}=\cfrac{100}{1}\cdot \cfrac{5}{47}\implies \cfrac{75}{x}=\cfrac{500}{47}\implies 75\cdot 47=500\cdot x

\cfrac{3525}{500}=x\implies \cfrac{141}{20}=x\implies 7.05=x$
