- 3 - (- 8) - (- 2) = x
Distribute the negatives to the numbers in the parentheses.
- 3 + 8 + 2
- 3 + 10
7
x = 7
The two triangles are similar by SSA similarity. Option B is correct.
<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>
A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It is one of the most fundamental geometric forms.
If the ratio of the sides are same as well as the one angle is common between the two triangles then in that condition there will be SSA similarity.
From the triangle ABC and DEC
The ratio of the sides is;

One angle c is common in the two triangles.
The two triangles are similar by SSA similarity.
Hence, option B is correct.

Answer:
See answer below
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first expression
3 x (x - 2) + 2 = 3 x^2 - 6 x + 2
evaluated at x= 4 we get: 26
and for x = 5 we get 47.
For the second expression
2 x^2 + 3 x - 18
we get the exact same values when doing the evaluation at these two points.
Based on those results, one may think the expressions may be equivalent, but they are not equivalent. Because at any other x-value, their results are different. See for example that for x = 0 the first one gives "2" while the second one gives -18.
Vertical angles are equal
5x - 40 = 3x + 8
5x - 3x = 8 + 40
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = 24
m∠ABC = 3x + 8 = 3 * 24 + 8 = 80°
(or m∠ABC = 5x - 40 = 5 * 24 - 40 = 80°)
