Answer:

  • b. 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Similar triangles ∆AXY and ∆ABC.

We know corresponding sides of similar triangles have equal ratio.

This can be applied here as:

  • BC/XY = AC/AY

Substitute the values and solve for x:

  • x/17 = (15 + 10)/15
  • x/17 = 25/15
  • x = 17*5/3
  • x = 85/3
  • x = 28 1/3

The matching answer choice is B
