Answer:

The value of x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

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

<u>To find the value of x</u>

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

The sum of two numbers is 39 and the difference is 3. What are the numbers?
frosja888 [35]

Answer: 21 & 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two numbers is 39

Difference is 3

Let the numbers be x & y

X+y=39........equation 1

X-y=3...........equation 2

X=3+y............equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 1

(3+y)+y=39

3+y+y=39

3+2y=39

2y=39-3

2y=36

Y=36/2

Y=18

Substitute for y in equation 2

X-y=3

X-18=3

X=3+18

X=21

The two numbers are 21 & 18

x=length

x(x-6)=315

x^2-6x=315

(x-21)(x+15)

x=21, x=-15

x cannot be negative so the only answer is 21
