The value of x is equal to 14.
Since the bottom side is equal to 3 of the small triangle and the side of the larger triangle is equal to 9, that means that it was dilated by a factor of 3, since 3 * 3 = 9
So, the other side of 5, of the smaller triangle needs to be also be dilated by a factor of 3, so the new side is 15.
The larger triangle tells us that the side is x + 1, but we know that it is equal to 15. Since they are the same, we make them equal and solve for x
So, 15 = x + 1
We subtract 1 to isolate x and we get
14 = x
So, x is equals to 14.
I hope this helps.

Answer:
9.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.
From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):
(15+y)(10) = 17^2
Solving for y we get:
Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:
5 * 13.9 = 7 * x
Now solving, we get:
Thus x = 9.93
last answer choice is right.
