Answer:
11 73/78 ≈ 11.9359 (not 14)
Step-by-step explanation:
The similarity statement tells us ...
QS/QR = FG/FH
QS = QR·FG/FH
13x -14 = 154(55/60) = 847/6
Adding 14 = 84/6, we have ...
13x = 931/6
x = 931/78 = 11 73/78 . . . . . . . divide by 13

<em>Comment on the question</em>
You get a nice integer answer for x if the similarity statement is written ...
∆FGH ~ ∆QRS . . . . . . . note the letters are in alphabetical order
Then you have ...
QS/QR = FH/FG
13x -14 = 154(60/55) = 168
13x = 182
x = 14
This nice answer to a nice similarity statement leads us to believe the question has an error in it.
We suspect you are expected to provide x=14 as the answer, even though that is NOT the answer to the question <em>as written</em>. You may want to discuss this with your teacher.

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is:
<h2>
Why?</h2>
We can solve the problem writing both equations as a system of equations.
So, we are given the equations:
Then, solving by reduction we have:
Multiplying the first equation by 2 in order to reduce the variable "x", we have:
Now, substituting "y" into the first equation, to isolate "x" we have:
Hence we have that the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is
Have a nice day!

I AM WRONG I THINK....... THANKS FOR DEM POINTS BRODA OR SISTA
I'm guessing it is 10? or 7?
