Given:

WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid. WY=8x-3 and ZX=19.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are equal. So,


WY=ZX


8x-3=19

Add 3 on both sides.


8x-3+3=19+3


8x=22

Divide both sides by 8.


x=(22)/(8)


x=2.75

Therefore, the correct option is B.
