The value of the variable x is 3/4

<h3>What are congruent segments</h3>

Congruent segment are segments with equal or congruent lengths.

From the information given, we have that line AB is approximately equal to line BC. This is represented as;

AB = BC

Where;

  • AB = 4x + 7
  • BC = 20x - 7

Now, let's equate the expressions

4x + 7 = 20x - 5

collect like terms

4x - 20x = - 5 - 7

- 16x = - 12

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = -12/-16

x = 3/4

Thus, the value of the variable x is 3/4
