The value of x that makes ABC~ RTS. is 12
How to determine the value of x?
From the figure, we have the following equivalent ratio:
2x + 6 : 40 = 36 : 48
Express as fraction
(2x + 6)/40 = 36/48
Multiply both sides by 40
2x + 6 = 30
Subtract 6 from both sides
2x = 24
Divide both sides by 2
x = 12
Hence, the value of x is 12
