The value of x is 8 from the diagram given.
<h3>How do you calculate the sides of similar triangles?</h3>The corresponding sides of a similar triangle are said to be in proportion if and only if the corresponding angle are also equal.
To calculate the side of line x (|x|), we have to determine the ratios of the corresponding sides as:
x = 120/15
x = 8
Therefore, we can conclude that the value of x is 8.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-26<-5(2-3x)
first write out the equation
7x-26<-10 +15x
then solve the -5(2-3x)
by multiplying -5 by 2 and -5 by 3x which will give the answer -10 and 15x
7x-15x<-10+26
Now put the numbers with X first and since we moved the (+15x) into the otherside we change its sign to (-15x)
and because we put the (-26) into the otherside we do the same thing and change it into (+26)
-8x<16
Now we combine the same numbers so 7x-15x and -10+26
Next we divide both sides by (-8)
so (-8x÷-8) and (16÷-8)
and because we divided with a negative number (-8)
and we have an inequality( < ) we flip the sign from smaller than to greater than.
and so the final answer is x>2
or x is greater than 2
