Answer:

The value of x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

To find the value of x

From the figure we can see two similar triangles.

Therefore we can write,

(x - 10)/39 = 5/15

x - 10 = (5 * 39)/15

x - 10 = 13

x = 13 + 10 = 23

Therefore the value of x = 23

Answer:

x=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a ratio

The names of the triangle help with this.

AB is similar to FG, and AC is similar to FH (the missing side)

6/15 = 9/x

cross multiply

6x=135

divide both sides by 6

x=22.5

hoa [83]

The correct answer among the choices listed above is the second option. The following system of equations is equivalent. This is because when written in the same form, one equation will yield to the same equation as the other.

y = -1/3x +2/3

2x + 6y = 4
6y = 4 - 2x
y = 2/3 - 1/3x
y = -1/3x +2/3
