Answer:

x = 1 9/11

Explanation:

Corresponding parts of the similar triangles are proportional.

Setup

(5x +10)/21 = 10/11 . . . . . . right sides are proportional to left sides

Solution

Multiplying by 231 gives ...

11(5x +10) = 210

55x +110 = 210 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

55x = 100 . . . . . . . . . subtract 110

x = 100/55 = 1 9/11
