Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines divide the sides proportionally, so ratios of corresponding sides are the same.
(x +5)/15 = (5x +1)/35
Multiplying by 105, we have ...
7(x +5) = 3(5x +1)
7x +35 = 15x +3 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
32 = 8x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7x+3 from both sides
4 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 8
