Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure shows two pairs of opposite sides parallel, so quadrilateral KLMN is a parallelogram. Angles N and L are opposite angles in a parallelogram, so their measures are equal.
m<N = m<L
5x = x + 20
4x = 20
x = 5
Answer:
82.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
For similar triangles, ratio of perimeter will equal to ratio of sides.
Here we are given that triangles ABC and DEF are similar.
This implies the corresponding sides are proportional.
By corresponding we mean that the longest sides of ABC with the longest side of DEF.
Hence Longest side of ABC/Longest side of DEF = Ratio of sides
= Ratio of perimeter.
Let the longest side of DEF be x.
i.e. 15/x = 2/11
Cross multiply to get
2x = 165
Divide by 2
x = 82.5 cm.
Hence the longest side of Triangle DEF = 82.5 cm.
Verify: Check proportions of longest sides
= which equals ratio of perimeters.
Thus verified.

Simplifying
3X + 10 = 6X + 40
Reorder the terms:
10 + 3X = 6X + 40
Reorder the terms:
10 + 3X = 40 + 6X
Solving
10 + 3X = 40 + 6X
Solving for variable 'X'.
Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6X' to each side of the equation.
10 + 3X + -6X = 40 + 6X + -6X
Combine like terms: 3X + -6X = -3X
10 + -3X = 40 + 6X + -6X
Combine like terms: 6X + -6X = 0
10 + -3X = 40 + 0
10 + -3X = 40
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -3X = 40 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -3X = 40 + -10
-3X = 40 + -10
Combine like terms: 40 + -10 = 30
-3X = 30
Divide each side by '-3'.
X = -10
Simplifying
X = -10
