How do you find x? Ive been stuck on this one

the similarity statement helps you see that side RQ corresponds to UV, therefore 2x-4 : 5, and VW and QP are corresponding sides

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion, then cross-multiply

2x-4/16 = 5/8

8(2x-4) = 16(5)

x = 7

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
