Question 619122: The figure below shows two congruent triangular parks with Angle ABC congruent to angle DEF..

Triangle ABC has AB = 10 m, BC = 12 m, and AC = (3x-15) m. Triangle DEF has DE = 10 m, EF = 12 m, and DF = (x-1) m. The measure of angle ABC is equal to the measure of angle DEF.

What is the value of x? i have tried (3x-15) (x-1) and got 2x-15 but im not sure if thats right

the two sides are congruent

3x - 15 = x - 1
