Question

Find the value of x
Yeh pls help

Answer 1

20/3 with adding the numbers via “fencing” method that’s what my teacher says and then simple x stuff

Answer 2

20/3

Explanation:

By the property of equal intercepts made by transversals on parallel lines.

`(4x - 3)/(x + 17) = (1)/(1) \\ \\ 4x - 3 = x + 17 \\ \\ 4x - x = 17 + 3 \\ \\ 3x = 20 \\ \\ x = (20)/(3) \\ \\`
