Sorry its so messy I'm still trying to get the hang of how to draw on my laptop lol.

anonymous · Answer

are those angles congruent or equal

anonymous · Answer

congruent...

anonymous · Answer

equal = congruent but we refer to them in a figure

anonymous · Answer

That's what I was just thinking.. But I already know that. I just need help on how to solve for x..

anonymous · Answer

well find the value of x*

anonymous · Answer

ok, here it goes since the triangles are congruent to each other that means that their sides are congruent as well, so one side equals to the other side

thus 12 = 2x -10

anonymous · Answer

ok and then after that I'd subtract 12 from 10.. correct?

anonymous · Answer

in order to solve it you need to add 10 to both sides

anonymous · Answer

oh okay lol so the answer would be x= 11 ?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer
