Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Here, given that the two triangles are similar, we want to find the value of x

Mathematically, when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that;

ED/EF = XY/YZ

5/2x-1 = 10/14

14(5) = 10(2x-1)

70 = 20x -10

70 + 10 = 20x

20x = 80

x = 80/20

x = 4
