Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:


(x)/(2x - 3) = (10)/(14) --> Triangle Proportionality Theorem

10(2x - 3) = 14(x) --> Cross Multiplying

20x - 30 = 14x --> Distributing 10 and 14 to the parentheses

20x -30 - 14x + 30 = 14x - 14x + 30 --> Subtracting 14x and adding 30 on both sides

6x = 30 --> Simplifying

6x/6 = 30/6 --> Dividing 6 on both sides

x = 5 --> Simplifying

Hope this helped!

By the way, I'm not so sure you understand the concept of "Triangle Proportionality Theorem" since you asked a similar one before that. So I'll post an image that I found on the internet that explains it. :D
