Question

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP, ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 x 3 is 10.5. Triangle two has been expanded each side by 1.5. So multiply 7 (the side with 3x on the other triangle) x 1.5 to get 10.5. To fid x divide 10.5 by 3. This gives you 3.5 as x.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know that the scale factor is 1.5 going from DEF to XYZ (4.5/3 = 1.5; 7.5/5 = 1.5)

So, multiply 7 by 1.5 to get ZX's length. It would be 10.5 units long.

We now know the equation, which is 3x = 10.5

3x = 10.5

Cancel out the multiplication by dividing both sides by 3

x = 10.5/3

Divide 10.5 by 3 to get 3.5

x = 3.5 in this case.
