Question

Please help! Thank you
X= ?

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

OP is twice the length of RS; therefore we can create the following equation:

4x = 2(6x-8)

4x = 12x - 16

-8x = -16

x = 2

make sure OP is twice the length of RS by plugging 2 in for 'x':

4(2) = 6(2) - 8

8 = 12 - 8

8 is twice 4 so it checks out
