Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.

To solve for x, cross multiply:
(x+8)(14) = (10)(2x-5)
14x + 112 = 20x -50
112 = 6x - 50
162 = 6x
27 = x
(4,7)(0,7)
notice how ur points have the same y values....this means this is a horizontal line with a slope of 0.
equation is : y = 7...or y = 0x + 7...but we need it in standard form...
0x + y = 7 <== standard form
