Answer:

The, value x for the give problem is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC,

Now, from the attached figure

Given that

PQ || AB

CP = 8units

PA = 6 units

CQ = x = ? units.

QB = 15 units

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

CP / PA = CQ / QB

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ (8) / (6) = (x) / (15)

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ 8(15) = x(6)

⇛ 120 = 6x

⇛ x = 120÷6

⇛ x = 120/6

Therefore, x = 20 units.

<u>Answer</u>: Hence, value of x is 20 units.

<u>Additional comment:</u>

Basic Proportionality Theorem

" A line drawn parallel to the one side of a triangle intersecting other two sides at two different points, then the line divides the other two sides in the same ratio"

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>9x³ - 11x² - 7x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 36x^5 − 44x⁴ − 28x³

g(x) = 4x²

To find f(x) / g(x) Divide each term of f(x) by g(x)

That's

\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}  =  \frac{ {36x}^{5} -  {44x}^{4}  -  {28x}^{3}  }{ {4x}^{2} }  \\  \\  =  \frac{ {36x}^{5} }{ {4x}^{2} }  -  \frac{ {44x}^{4} }{ {4x}^{2} }  -  \frac{ {28x}^{3} }{ {4x}^{2} }  \\  \\  =  {9x}^{3}  -  {11x}^{2}  - 7x

Hope this helps you
