Answer:


x = 11

Explanation:

Given that ∆CDE ~ ∆FGH

CD = 25

DE = 35

FG = 65

GH = 8x + 3

Therefore,


(CD)/(FG) = (DE)/(GH)

(Similarity Theorem)


(25)/(65) = (35)/(8x + 3)

Cross multiply


25(8x + 3) = 35*65


200x + 75 = 2275


200x + 75 - 75 = 2275 - 75


200x = 2200


(200x)/(200) = (2200)/(200)


x = 11
