What is the topic of this particular section in your book, that will give you hints on how to approach it.

Answer 6

I'm really not understanding it..I'm not good at this stuff at all.

Answer 7

It looks to me as if you are working on similar triangles, which would mean that the ratio of one is equal to the ratio of another. If that is the case, then you know that \[\frac{4}{5}=\frac{7}{z}\] and you simply solve for z.
