Answer:

a) 16.7

b) 13.5

Explanation:

AC and DE are parallel, so ∠CAB and ∠EDB are corresponding angles, and ∠ACB and ∠DEB are corresponding angles.

Therefore, ΔABC and ΔDBE are similar triangles. We can use this to write a proportion.

a)

(25 + x) / (18 + 12) = x / 12

12 (25 + x) = x (18 + 12)

300 + 12x = 30x

300 = 18x

x = 16.7

b)

x / (7 + 2) = 3 / 2

x = 13.5
