Answer:

x = 6.6

Explanation:

If the triangles are similar triangles then the side lengths must be proportional.


(HG)/(JI) = (GK)/(IK)

  • Rewrite the expression using numbers.


(8)/((x - 1)) = (10)/(7)

  • Cross multiply fractions.

56 = 10x - 10

  • Add 10 to both sides of the equation.

66 = 10x

  • Divide both sides by 10.

6.6 = x
