Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

To do this, we are going to use the similar triangles principle

When two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are the same

The two similar triangles we shall be using are;

LMN and LJK

Thus, we have it that;

x/8.5 = x+ 9/17

17x = 8.5(x + 9)

17x = 8.5x + 76.5

17x - 8.5x = 76.5

8.5x = 76.5

x = 76.5/8.5

x = 9

Answer:

y-3 = -4 (x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -4x - 5

In slope-intercept form, they give us the slope, -4, and the y-intercept, -5 (we don't need for point-slope form).

Use the point (1,3) and substitute it into the equation.

Point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-3 = -4 (x-1)
