The image you uploaded shows two similar polygons, and you need to find the value of $x$. From the diagram, it appears that one polygon has sides labeled as $x+5$ and 4, while the other polygon has sides labeled as 5 and 15.

When two polygons are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional. This means the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides should be equal.

The corresponding sides are:

• $\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{4}{15}$

Now, let's solve for $x$.

Step 1: Set up the proportion

$\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{4}{15}$

Step 2: Cross-multiply

$15(x + 5) = 5 \times 4$

Step 3: Simplify

$15(x + 5) = 20$ $15x + 75 = 20$ $15x = 20 - 75$ $15x = -55$

Step 4: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{-55}{15} = -\frac{11}{3}$

Thus, the value of $x$ is $-\frac{11}{3}$.
