Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8/4 = (x+5)/(x-3)

cross-multiply:

8(x-3) = 4(x+5)

8x - 24 = 4x + 20

4x  = 44

x = 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X=11

The longest known is double than samallest known

2(x-3) = x+5

2x-6 = x+5

x= 11

                   11-3 = 8

                   11+5 = 16

Sides of the known triangle    8,7,4     (side 8 double than side 4)

Sides of the similar triangle       16,14,8   (side 16 double than side  8 )
