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

Find the difference: (20x + 3) - (7x - 5) *
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

27x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we use commutative property to get the like terms together.

(20x + 7x) - (3-5)

Now we can solve the equations inside the parenthesis.

27x - (-2)

Because these aren't like terms, this is as far as we can go. Meaning 27x - 2

is out answer.
