Answer:

I believe the answer is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x and 4x-1 are corresponding sides and so are 14 and 18.

You cross multiply with the smaller triangle lengths at the top.

3x/(4x-1)= 14/18

Cross multiply to get

18(3x)= 14(4x-1)

54x=56x-14

Subtract 54x on the other side and add 14 to the other (or subtract 56x to the other side)

you get 14=2x and divide 14 by 2 to get x=7
