Please look at the question, I uploaded it!

angle JKL is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle of the two triangles are the same, so (2x + 1) = (3x - 9)

You would then find the x, which equals to 10.

Then replace x with ten with the equation.

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
