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.

Answer: Hence, value of x is 20 units.

Additional comment:

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:

Step-by-step explanation:

By order of operations, we first evaluate the parentheses, which is 2 * 1 = 2. We then evaluate the brackets, which are 3 / 2 = $\frac{3}{2}$ . Finally, $\frac{3}{2}$ * $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{6}{6}$ or 1.
