Answer: C

Explanation:

Okay first set a comparison since the two triangles are similar

x-1/20=x-1+27/3x+8

x-1/20 = x+26/3x+8

cross multiply

20x+520=3x^2+8x-3x-8

3x^2-15x-528=0

3(x^2-5x-176)=0

im kinda lazy to factor this out so i used an online calculator right here but factor it out like a good kid

x=16, x=-11

it has to be positive so x=16

C
