5 is your answer

1: 5 = 5: 25

Note that the colon can act like a fraction.

Simplify 5/25.

(5/25)/(5/5) = 1/5 = 1/5

hope this helps

idk lol xd

step-by-step explanation:

ez do it yourself lazy

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
