Answer:

x=9.4

Explanation:

find the difference between 54 and 24:

54/24= 2.5

apply same concept to the other triangle:

36/x-5=2.5

multiply (x-5) on each side

(x-5) 36/x-5=2.5(x-5)

idr what is called but eliminate (x-5) on one side and mutiply it on the other side

36=2.5x×12.5

subtract 12.5 on each side

23.5=2.5x

divide 2.5 on each side

9.4=x
