Question

Answer please Solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the ratios of similar triangles to solve

x                  7

----------- = ------------

x+8                  13

Using cross products

13x = 7(x+8)

Distribute

13x = 7x+56

Subtract 7x from each side

13x-7x = 7x+56-7x

6x = 56

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 56/6

x= 28/3

x = 9 1/3
