Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ BDE and Δ BAC are similar triangles, thus the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
4(3x + 5) = 7(x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
12x + 20 = 7x + 35 ( subtract 7x from both sides )
5x + 20 = 35 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
-10 because its a negative and that's the opposite of the greatest itreger

Take out a 2 to begin with.
2(25x^2 - 36) This is the difference of squares (inside the brackets). Factor.
2*(5x - 6)(5x + 6)
15n > 12n + 18
3n > 18
n > 6
