Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles are similar, and it says that VUT is similar to EFG so side VT corresponds to side EG which means that 8 is just side VU divided by 2.
This means that side EG is 14 divided by 2 and that is 7.
This results in the equation " 2x - 13 = 7" First, add 13 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -13. This gives 2x = 20. Then divide both sides by two to cancel out and get rid of the 2 in 2x. This leaves x as 10.
