Can someone find x?
if you do ill mark you as a brainliest, thank you!! :)

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 3x-1 is the entire length and the 2 smaller segments overlap in the center with a length of 2. The equation would just be subtracting the area they overlap from the sum of the smaller segments.

2x-4+2x-3 = 3x-1+2

Then just simplify.

4x-7=3x+1

x=8

Hope this helps :)

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
