Explanation:
"since the triangles are similar then the ratios of "since the triangles are similar then the ratios of
"corresponding sides are equal"corresponding sides are equal
rArr(AB)/(XY)=(AC)/(XZ)=(CB)/(ZY)⇒ABXY=ACXZ=CBZY
"using "(AC)/(XZ)=(CB)/(ZY)using ACXZ=CBZY
rArr(x+6)/(3-x)=(x+7)/(4-x)larrcolor(blue)"cross-multiply"⇒x+63−x=x+74−x←cross-multiply
(x+6)(4-x)=(x+7)(3-x)larrcolor(blue)"distribute"(x+6)(4−x)=(x+7)(3−x)←distribute
4x+24cancel(-x^2)-6x=3x+21cancel(-x^2)-7x
rArr-2x+24=-4x+21
"add "4x " to both sides"
rArr2x+24=21
"subtract 24 from both sides"
rArr2x=-3
"divide both sides by 2"
rArrx=-3/2to(B)
