How to find X

[dark tundra]

These two triangles are similar, but I can’t seem to be able to solve it with similar triangles. I don’t know, I’m probably missing something.

1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

   +close
   

4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules. If there is a conflict amongst multiple helpers feel free to ping “Helper Mod”
6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

set the bottom of the big triangle and the side of the small triangle equal to y

you will have to solve for y before solving for x
