The value of x from the figure is 4

Similar triangle

From the figure given we are told that ABC ~ DEC. Hence to get the value of x we will use the relationship shown;

  • 25/3x-2 =  20/2x

Cross multiply

25(2x) = 20(3x - 2)

50x = 60x - 40

50x - 60x =-40

-10x = -40

x = 4

Hence the value of x from the figure is 4
