plug that in your calculator, yes, your calculator has an [ e ], button for the Euler's constant.
We are given:

Our goal in solving for any variable, in this case is x, we need to isolate x on one side of the variable. Let's start by subtracting 7x from both sides, which will cancel the +7x on the right side. We are then left with:

Now, we want to move that +10 to the other side so our x is all by itself. Let's subtract 10 from both sides, which will cancel the +10 on the right leaving us with:

Since we cannot have a coefficient when solving for x, we need to divide both sides by -3.

When we divide, our answer is:

Answer:
These two figures are similar because
equals 
Step-by-step explanation:
The figures will be similar if their ratios of the two sides are equal. So we need to check the ratios of the figures to see if they are similar or not.
For the smaller figure the ratio is
, and for the bigger figure the ratio is
which upon simplification reduces to
.
So we see that the ratios are equal. Thus the figures are similar.
