Equate the corresponding parts, because similarity allows it. This means identifying which parts correspond.

, which is two different equations, but since this pair of similar triangles gives this system, you MUST expect both solutions for x to be equal. NO OTHER POSSIBILITY, unless labeled sides are done wrong.

4x=75+10
4x=85
x=85/4
-

x+5=30
x=30-5
x=25

No good! .
Either incorrect information given or the triangles are not similar.
