Two equivalent expressions have the same even though they may be written in different ways.

a) order
b) value

Value

Step-by-step explanation:

Value because order can be different and they can still be the same!

For example, 3x+2 = 2+3x different order but still are equivalent!

x = -2/3, so their values are equivalent!

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
