Question

PLS HELPP Help Solve for x
X =​

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

The big triangle is similar to smaller one so we can use the side lengths' proportion to find x:

7/4 = (x-3)+8/8

7/4 = (x+5)/8 cross multiply expressions

56 = 4x + 20 subtract 20 from both sides

36 = 4x divide both sides by 4

9 = x
