Answer 2

Answer:  x = 30

=====================================================

Explanation:

Due to the parallel lines, we have two similar triangles. So the sides are proportional.

18/27 = 20/x

2/3 = 20/x

2x = 3*20

2x = 60 .... cross multiply

x = 60/2

x = 30

---------------

Another way you can approach it is to say

18/(18+27) = 20/(20+x)

18/45 = 20/(20+x)

2/5 = 20/(20+x)

2(20+x) = 5*20

40+2x = 100

2x = 100-40

2x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30
