Will give you a medal for help on this.
For the following pair of similar triangles, solve for x.

Answer 1

sorry i cant help

Answer 2

so that means x+6 is similar to 39
and 2x-4 is similar to 24

so you solve:
\[\frac{x+6}{24}=\frac{39}{2x-4}\]

Answer 4

So... first you level the equation our right? turn it into something that isn't a fraction?

Answer 5

Like...
\[(x+6) (2x-4) = 39 \times \]

Answer 6

(x+6)(2x-4)=39*24

Answer 7

(x+4)(2x-4)=936

Whats the next step here??
