here it is

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \triangle {\color{blue}{ ABC}} \sim \triangle {\color{red}{ RBS}}\implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ AR+RB}}}{{\color{red}{ RB}}}=\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ AC}}}{{\color{red}{ RS}}}\implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y+30}}}{{\color{red}{ 30}}}=\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ 20}}}{{\color{red}{ 8}}}\)
