Answer:
a and d = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
since ABC and DEF are similar m<A = m<D so you have the equation
5x + 12 = 8x
subtract 8x from both sides
5x + 12 -8x = 0
subtract 12 from both sides
5x -8x = -12
combine like terms
-3x = -12
devide by -3
x = 4
plug 4 into equation
5(4) + 12 = 8*4
20 + 12 = 32
32 = 32
