Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming these are similar triangles,we can use ratios to solve

3x+8        25

---------- = ------

4               5

Using cross products

5(3x+8) = 4*25

Distribute

15x +40 = 100

Subtract 40 from each side

15x+40-40 = 100-40

15x= 60

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 60/15

x =4

Wolfyy

First, find the scale factor between both triangles.

25 / 5 = 5

15 / 3 = 5

Second, multiply to find the missing side length.

4 * 5 = 20

Third, solve for x.

3x + 8 = 20

3x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8

3x = 12

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

Best of Luck!
