If ΔABC ~ ΔDBE, the value of x is _________

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 32 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ EB }{ CB } = \frac{ DB }{ AB } -> \frac{ 5 }{ 4 } = \frac{ x+3 }{ x-4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5x-20 = 4x + 3\] . . .x=23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But 23-4 is not .8 of 23+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@PFEH.1999

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 of 23 + 3 ?!!!!!!!!!!! what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/5 = .8 That means 23+3 x .8 should equal 23-4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... \[\frac{ EB }{ CB } = \frac{ DB }{ AB }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try doing it with this one and I'll see if you're right because I go this one right last time with my way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will give you the answer like last question!because I'm sure that my way is true...perhaps i made a mistake ...
