Answer 1

the value of x would equal to 20

Answer 2

x = 20

Explanation:

If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other two sides then it divides those sides proportionally.

This is the case here thus

`(11)/(121)` =
`(10)/(5x + 10)` ( cross- multiply )

11(5x + 10) = 1210

55x + 110 = 1210 ( subtract 110 from both sides )

55x = 1100 ( divide both sides by 55 )

x = 20
