Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

The ≅ sign means that both triangles are congruent, also meaning they're exactly the same. So with this in mind, the equations naturally equal each other:

3x + 3 = 5x - 7

Subtract 5x from both sides

-2x + 3 = -7

Subtract -3 from both sides

-2x = -10

divide by -2 to both sides

x = 5
