Solve for x
A. 36
B. 30
C. 10
D. 20

The answer to your question is the letter B. x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Find x

Process

To solve this problem use proportions. Compare the small triangle and the large triangle.

1) For the small triangle

                         x/ (24 - 4) = x/20

2) For the large triangle

                         (x + 6) / 24

3.- Equal both expressions

                         x/20 = (x + 6)/24

-Solve for x

                        24x = 20(x + 6)

-Expand

                        24x = 20x + 120

-Simplify like terms

                        24x - 20x = 120

                          4x = 120

-Result

                            x = 120/4

                            x = 30

the correct answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
