Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

We know that XY + YZ = XZ, so

3x - 1 + 5 = 5x - 8

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

3x + 12 = 5x

12 = 2x

6 = x

10x + 5x – 3 = 2(2x – 1)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The answer is x = 1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

10x + 5x – 3 = 2(2x – 1)

10x+5x-3=4x-2

15x-4x=-2+3

11x=1

To find x divide both sides by 11

11x/11=1/11

x= 1/11
