9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional.

  BE/CD = AE/AD

  20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)

  20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)

In standard form, this is ...

  3x^2 -15x -528 = 0

  x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3

  (x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

  x = 16

__

This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

Set A

Set A has follows this set of rules while Set B does not. Also if we graph it, Set B does not pass the vertical line test. (Learn about the vertical line test in the link below).
