Given that ABCD is similar to WXYZ, solve for 'x'. Show all work and explain your method.

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two parallelograms are similar, their corresponding sides should be proportionate. Therefore, we can set up a proportion to help us solve for x. That'll be AB/WX=AD/WZ, since those match up the corresponding sides.

4/18=6/4x-5

4(4x-5)=108

16x-20=108

16x=128

x=8

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

“a term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a + sign or j sign. in , the terms are 5x , 3y and 8. when a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.” i hope this you.
