Answer:

[tex] \: x = 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

prefer the attachment

according to the question

[tex] \displaystyle \: \frac{6}{17.5-x} = \frac{8 + 6}{17.5} [/tex]

simplify addition:

[tex] \displaystyle \: \frac{6}{17.5-x} = \frac{14}{17.5 } [/tex]

simplify fraction;

[tex] \displaystyle \: \frac{6}{17.5 - x} = 0.8[/tex]

cross multiplication:

[tex]\displaystyle 6 = 14 - 0.8x[/tex]

cancel 14 from both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle - 8= - 0.8x[/tex]

divide both sides by -0.8:

[tex] \therefore \: x = 10[/tex]
