Question

Solve for X show your work

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using the side proportionality rule of triangles, we can see that the side with length 6 has a
`(2)/(3)` ratio to the side with length 9. We can use the same principle to determine that the side length of 2 is two thirds to side length x. We can set up an algebraic equation to find the value of x:
`(2)/(3) x=2`. If we multiply both sides by 3, we get
`2x=6`, therefore x = 3
