To make the shade perfect pink paint, it takes 5 quarts of red paint and 2 quarts of white paint. how many quarts of white paint should be mixed with 15 quarts of red paint to make perfect pink paint? *

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
