Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these two triangles share an angle and their corresponding sides are parallel, they are similar.

So, we can set up a proportion relating corresponding sides:

10 / (10 + 8) = (3x - 6) / (3x - 6 + 12)

10/18 = (3x - 6) / (3x + 6)

Cross-multiply:

18 * (3x - 6) = 10 * (3x + 6)

54x - 108 = 30x + 60

24x = 168

x = 168/24 = 7

The answer is 7.

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 3/2(4x-2)-3x = 5-(x+2)

Open the parenthesis

3/2(4x) - 3/2(2) -3x = 5-x-2

6x-3-3x = 3-x

3x-3 = 3-x

Collect like terms

3x+x = 3+3

4x = 6

Divide both sides by

4x/4 = 6/4

x = 3/2

Hence the value of x is 3/2
