Question

HEELPP HEL SHOW WORK PLEASE

Answer 1

Triangles ABC and APQ are similar.

Answer 2

As they are similra, solve:
\[\frac{ \bar {AB} }{ \bar{AC} }=\frac{ \bar{AP} }{ \bar{AQ}}\rightarrow \frac{ 8+x }{ 12+18 }=\frac{ 8}{ 12 }\]

Answer 3

so 8/12 is the value of x?

Answer 4

It does not say that. You must use that equation to solve for x. 8/12 is a ratio. Why would you think this is the value of x? You must keep track of what it is you are doing. Of course, the 10 hour delay probably didn't help.
