The value of x is equal to 14.
 
Since the bottom side is equal to 3 of the small triangle and the side of the larger triangle is equal to 9, that means that it was dilated by a factor of 3, since 3 * 3 = 9
So, the other side of 5, of the smaller triangle needs to be also be dilated by a factor of 3, so the new side is 15.
The larger triangle tells us that the side is x + 1, but we know that it is equal to 15. Since they are the same, we make them equal and solve for x
So, 15 = x + 1
We subtract 1 to isolate x and we get
14 = x
So, x is equals to 14.
I hope this helps.
YOU'RE WELCOME :D

Yolanda's age is 5 years less than twice Marco's age. If Yolanda is 15 years old, how old is Marcus? Choose the answer below tha
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

(A) 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of Marco's be "x" years

then according to question

Yolanda age will be "2x - 5"

Also in the question it is given that age Yolanda is 15 years.

then, 2x - 5 = 15

Adding 5 both sides of the equation, we will get

        2x = 20

Dividing both sides of the equality by 2, we get

         x = 10

therefore, Age of Marcus will be 10years

Option (A) is the correct option.
