3x + 5

it should be equal to 65 i just need to know how to do it

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

to make 3x + 5 = 65, first you can subtract 5 from 65, then divide. 60/3, which equals 20, so x = 20

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
