Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

For polygons that are similar to each other, the ratio of their corresponding sides are usually equal to each other, as they are proportional.

Therefore, given that ∆DAE is similar to ∆BAC, AD = 6, AB = 6+4 = 10, AE = x, AC = x + 8, therefore:

AD/AB = AE/AC

6/10 = x/(x+8)

Cross multiply

6*(x+8) = x*10

6x + 48 = 10x

Subtract 6x from both sides

48 = 10x - 6x

48 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

48/4 = x

x = 12

Length of side AE = 12

Solve for x.<br><br> 6x - 3 = 21 - 2x<br><br> (SHOW YOUR WORK)
patriot [66]

Answer:

Simplifying

6x + -3 = 21 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 6x = 21 + -2x

Solving

-3 + 6x = 21 + -2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2x' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 6x + 2x = 21 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: 6x + 2x = 8x

-3 + 8x = 21 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0

-3 + 8x = 21 + 0

-3 + 8x = 21

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 8x = 21 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 8x = 21 + 3

8x = 21 + 3

Combine like terms: 21 + 3 = 24

8x = 24

Divide each side by '8'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3
