Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle CDE, the side lengths 7 and 9 corrospond with the side lengths 14 and 3x + 3 in triangle UVW.
To find the value of x, we first need to understand the dilation rate.
14 / 7 = 2
2 is the dilation rate
Evalutate 9 * 2 = 18
This means that 3x + 3 = 18
Time to find the value of x
Subtract 3 from both sides
3x + 3 - 3 = 18 -3
3x = 15
Divide 3 from both sides
3/3 x = 15/3
x = 5
Hope this helps!
