Given ΔABC and ΔXYZ are similar triangles. BC = x + 7, AC = x + 6, YZ = 4 − x, and XZ = 3 − x.
Similar triangles have sides in proportion.
Substituting the given values :
To solve for x we cross multiply
(x+7)(3-x)=(4-x)(x+6)
Using FOIL to multiply
Simplifying like terms
-4x+21=-2x+24
To solve for x we isolate the x term
Adding 2x both sides:
-4x+2x+21=24
-2x+21=24
Subtracting 24 both sides
-2x=24-21
-2x=3
Dividing by -2 we have x=
Option B is the right answer.
