Answer 1

diagram ?

Answer 2

oh gosh sorry one sec please

Answer 3

congruent triangles have congruent sides.
can u equate congruent sides of those 2 triangles ?

Answer 4

as both the triangles are congruent, RT = XZ
hence, x + 21 = 2x - 14
x = 21 - 14

Answer 5

a.7?

Answer 6

nopes, and the equation by @miteshchvm is incorrect

Answer 7

ahh..i used her equation

Answer 8

u understand how
x+21 = 2x-14 ?

Answer 9

as both the triangles are congruent, RT = XZ
hence, x + 21 = 2x - 14
x = 21 + 14
