Question

Using the following​ diagram, solve for x. Show work

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides, divides those sides proportionally, that is

$\frac{8}{10}$ = $\frac{6}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

8x = 60 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = $\frac{60}{8}$ = 7.5
