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

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities? x – 4y < 4 y < x + 1 Image for option 1 Image for opt
slava [35]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x-4y ----> inequality A

solve for y

-4y

4y>x-4

y> (x/4)-1

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the dashed line

The slope of the dashed line is positive

The y-intercept is the point (0,-1)

The x-intercept is the point (4,0)

y< x+1 ----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area below the dashed line

The slope of the dashed line is positive

The y-intercept is the point (0,1)

The x-intercept is the point (-1,0)

Using a graphing tool
