Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
DGH is congruent with DEF
(meaning DG is congruent with DE, GH is congruent with EF, DH is congruent with DF)
DG = 52 & DE = 91
GH = x + 3 & EF = 2x-1
in this case we can disregard DH and DF since its providing no information
write the equation as:
52 x+3
---- = -----
91 2x-1
cross multiply 52 and 2x-1 then cross multiply 91 and x+3
this should give you:
52(2x-1) = 91(x+3)
distribute:
104x - 52 = 91x + 273
then solve using algebra
13x - 52 = 263
13 = 325
x = 25
Hope this helps!!
