Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The corresponding segments are proportional, so you can write any of several equations relating the different segment lengths. Here's one way:
top segment/bottom segment = x/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
Multiply by the product of denominators:
(x +1)x = (x +5)(x -2)
x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10 -x -x² to both sides of the equation
5 = x . . . . . divide by 2
