Question

Answer 1

The answer is x=30 say thank you to the guy who answered it first.

Answer 2

Answer: x = 30

Step-by-step explanation: Since the triangles are similar, you can begin to compare the sides and notice the trend that each side of the triangle on the right, is just a side of the left triangle multiplied by 6.

Here's the best way to show your work on the paper:

5x = 30

x = 30/5

x = 6

4x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 6

5 * 6 = 30
