Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ EAB and Δ EDC are similar by the AA postulate , so the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
10(x + 3) = 4(2x + 10 ) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
10x + 30 = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
2x + 30 = 40 ( subtract 30 from both sides )
2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 5
