Answer:

x = 14

Explanation:

First, organize your work by showing that lines are similar

Line KV is similar to line RV

Line UV is similar to line LV

etc, etc.

=========================================

Now notice that line KV and line RV have the numbers 9 and 18 accordingly

and notice that it's an x2 difference.

==============================================

Now apply the same thing to line UV and LV and divide 26 by 2

That gets us 13

=======================================

Now plug 13 into the equation (2x - 15)

2x - 15 = 13

==========================================

Now solve for X

2x - 15 = 13

Add 15 to each side

2x − 15 + 15 =13 + 15

2x = 28

Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 28 / 2

x = 14
