Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 28.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ CAB ≅ Δ CDE then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{CA}{CD}$ = $\frac{CB}{CE}$ , substitute values

$\frac{14+x}{x}$ = $\frac{18.7+9.3}{18.7}$ = $\frac{28}{18.7}$ ( cross- multiply )

28x = 18.7(14 + x) ← distribute

28x = 261.8 + 18.7x ( subtract 18.7x from both sides )

9.3x = 261.8 ( divide both sides by 9.3 )

x ≈ 28.2 (to the nearest tenth )
