Question

Help me with this!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so we see the two line of the same length of 14, which tells us that the lengths of 5x  and 7x-8  have to be the same length.  so we know we can set them equal to each other.  Often times that's the key to math problems , finding where you can set things equal.

5x = 7x-8  ( subtract 5x from both sides and then add 8 to both sides )

8 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

4 = x

nice this looks right too  , both sides add to 20  :)
