Anastaziya [24]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BC}{EC} = \frac{AC}{DC}, substituting values

\frac{21}{7} = \frac{24-x}{x} ( cross- multiply )

21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute

21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )

x = 6 → C
