If ∆GFE ~ ∆CBE, find the value of x
4 months ago
Q:
if ∆GFE ~ ∆CBE, find the value of x
Accepted Solution
A:
[tex] \dfrac{4x - 1}{x + 5} = \dfrac{60}{24} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{4x - 1}{x + 5} = \dfrac{5}{2} [/tex]
[tex] 5(x + 5) = 2(4x - 1) [/tex]
[tex] 5x + 25 = 8x - 2 [/tex]
[tex] -3x = -27 [/tex]
[tex] x = 9 [/tex]
