There are two right triangles in the picture, triangle ABD and triangle CBD.

These triangles are congruent, meaning that their corresponding sides are congruent.

This means that line AB = line CB, or:

x + 19 = 5x - 13
-x
19 = 4x - 13
+13
32 = 4x
/4
8 = x
x = 8

Answer 1: x = 8

Answer 2 asks for line AB (x + 19), x equals 8, so 8 + 19 = 27

Answer 2: 27

Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

The two sides equal each other

5x - 13 = x + 19 Subtract x from both sides

5x - x - 13 = x - x + 19

4x - 13 = 19 Add 13 to both sides

4x - 13 + 13 = 19 + 13

4x = 32 Divide both sides by 4

x = 8
