Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Use proportions to solve this problem
Process
1.- We know that the sides have the same measure, so we compare the small triangle with the big triangle
(x + 3) / 38 = y/ 2y
y means the length of the side with two lines.
2.- Simplification
(x + 3) / 38 = 1/2
3.- Solve for x
x + 3 = 38/2
x + 3 = 19
x = 19 - 3
4.- Result
x = 16
