Explanation:

There's a lot to get lost in here, so I can see why it's intimidating. For me, it helps to focus on a few things at a time and try to build from there.

We only need 4 pieces of info to help find x. I'll circle what we need in the diagram below (see attached image). Note the color coding to see how the terms match up.

Since we have similar figures, the corresponding sides form proportional ratios. This means DE/ST is the exact same as EA/TP. I've indicated this in the diagram as well.

So that's why 2/x = 4/(4.8)

-----------------------

Let's solve for x in the equation below.

2/x = 4/(4.8)

2*4.8 = x*4 ... cross multiply

9.6 = 4x

4x = 9.6

x = (9.6)/4 .... divide both sides by 4

x = 2.4

Therefore, segment ST is 2.4 units long.

-------------------------

Side note: The decimal 2.4 converts to the improper fraction 12/5, which is equivalent to the mixed number 2 & 2/5.

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
