Answer 1

Solve for x

\[\Large \frac{CA}{CB} = \frac{DF}{DE}\]

\[\Large \frac{8+x}{8} = \frac{10+25}{10}\]

Answer 2

what is the next step after that?

Answer 3

@jim_thompson5910 is there another step?

Answer 4

yes there are many steps after that

you need to fully isolate x (get it by itself)

Answer 5

\[\Large \frac{CA}{CB} = \frac{DF}{DE}\]

\[\Large \frac{8+x}{8} = \frac{10+25}{10}\]

\[\Large \frac{8+x}{8} = \frac{35}{10}\]

\[\Large 10(8+x) = 8*35\]

\[\Large 80 + 10x = 280\]

I'll let you finish up

Answer 6

can you show me how?

Answer 7

give it a shot and tell me what you get

Answer 8

okay thank you

Answer 9

have you solved linear equations before?

Answer 10
