Question

I am confused on what I need to do. someone please help?

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

Since ∆ABC is congruent to ∆DEC, their corresponding angles would be equal to each other.

<B is congruent to <E, therefore,

<B = <E

x + 15 = 6x - 65 (substitution)

Collect like terms

x - 6x = -15 - 65

-5x = -80

Divide both sides by -5

x = 16
