Question

Find the missing length indicated. Pls show ur work.

Answer 1

Answer:

$33 - - 9 = 24. \\ \frac{24}{9} = \frac{40}{ - x + 30} \\ 24( - x + 30) = 320 \\ - 24x + 720 = 320 \\ - 24x = 320 - 720 = - 400 \\ x = \frac{ - 400}{ - 24} \\ x = 16.6.$

Answer 2

33-9=24

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{24}{9}=\dfrac{40}{-x+30}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 24(-x+30)=320$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -24x+720=320$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -24x=320-720=-400$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-400}{-24}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=16.6$
