Question

Find the value of x. A. x= 1 B. x=5 C. x=19 D. x=37

Answer 1

Triangle WYZ and triangle TWY are congruent, therefore WZ = TW
WZ = TW
3x - 5 = 2x
3x - 2x = 5
x = 5

The value of x is 5

Answer 2

2x=3x-5
isolate the x so:
2x-3x=3x-3x-5
-x=-5
x=5

we know 2x=3x-5 because of they share an side have the same angles and have a leg of the same value.
