Step-by-step explanation:
from what I can see there are 2 options to make the 2 triangles congruent :
either the opposite sides must be equal or the neighboring sides must be equal.
so, either
5x = 3x + 10
and
5x - 2 = 4x + 3
or
5x = 4x + 3
and
5x - 2 = 3x + 10
for the first
5x = 3x + 10
2x = 10
x = 5
control
5x - 2 = 4w + 3
5×5 - 2 = 4×5 + 3
23 = 23
correct.
for the second
5x = 4x + 3
x = 3
control
5×3 - 2 = 3×3 + 10
15 - 2 = 9 + 10
13 = 19
no, not a valid solution.
so, x = 5
Answer:
A 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parts on the left have the same ratio as parts on the right.
... x/(x+5) = (x -2)/(x +1)
Multiplying by (x+5)(x+1), we get
... x(x +1) = (x -2)(x +5)
... x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 0 = 2x -10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract x²+x
... 0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5
Hi again I helped you on your last question, I love helping people. Anyway here's the answer!
