Question

The two triangles are similar, what is the value of X?

Answer 1

x=4

Explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, you can make an equation 12/5x-2 = 16/6x. When you cross multiply you get 72x=80x-32. Then you transfer the 80x and you get -8x = -32. Then you divide by -8 and you get x=4.
