The triangles are similar
so
(x+8)/42 = 24/(2x-4)
(x+8)(2x-4) = 24 * 42
2x^2 + 16x - 4x - 32 = 1008
2x^2 + 12x - 32 = 1008
2x^2 + 12x - 1040 = 0
2(x^2 + 6x - 520) = 0
2(x + 26)(x - 20) = 0
x + 26 = 0; x = -26
x - 20 = 0; x = 20

Since the side of triangle can't be negative so x = 20

Answer
x = 20

Answer:

(7,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 8y = -23

7x - 7y = -14

Solve the equation for 7x

7x - 8y = -23

7x = -14 + 7y

Substitute the given value of 7x into the equation 7x - 8y = -23

-14 + 7y - 8y = -23

solve the equation for y

y = 9

substitute the given value of y into the equation 7x = -14 + 7y

7x = -14 + 7(9)

solve the equation for x

x = 7

(7,9)
