For this question you should first add -15/x on both sides of the equation and then add +5 on both sides:
7/x - 15/x = 5 + 4
-8/x = 9
so now you can multiply both sides by x:
-8 = 9x
now you should divide both sides by 9:
-8/9 = x :)))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Answer:

$x=50.6cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle MAB is similar to triangle MNP

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding ratios are in the same proportion.

Therefore we can write the relation;

$\frac{|MB|}{|MP|}=\frac{|MA|}{|MN|}$

$\frac{x}{72.6}=\frac{46.2-14}{46.2}$

This implies that;

$\frac{x}{72.6}=\frac{32.2}{46.2}$

We multiply both sides by 72.6 to get

$\frac{x}{72.6}\times 72.6=\frac{32.2}{46.2}\times72.6$

$\Rightarrow x=50.6$

Hence the value of $x$ is 50.6 cm
