Answer:

x = 6 , x = 4

Explanation:

A line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides then divides those sides proportionally, that is


(x)/(18) =
(28-21)/(21) =
(7)/(21) =
(1)/(3) ( cross- multiply )

3x = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 6

(14)


(x+5)/(15) =
(5x+1)/(35) ( cross- multiply )

15(5x + 1) = 35(x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

75x + 15 = 35x + 175 ( subtract 35x from both sides )

40x + 15 = 175 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

40x = 160 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 4
