Using equations we know that the value of x needs to be (E) 4 to make HL congruent to AC.
<h3>What are equations?</h3>A mathematical equation is a formula that uses the equals sign to represent the equality of two expressions.
The point-slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form are the three main types of linear equations.
So, HL is a hypotenuse that will be congruent to the hypotenuse AC.
We know that HL is 3x + 3.
Ac is 15.
Then the equation will be:
3x + 3 = 15
Now, solve the equation to get x as follows:
3x + 3 = 15
3x = 15 - 3
3x = 12
x = 12/3
x = 4
Therefore, the value of x needs to be (E) 4 to make HL congruent to AC.
