Question

Find the value of x ASAP

Answer 1

The correct answer is 9.

Because they share a common angle at the top, we know that we can create a proportion using similar sides.

$\frac{Outside LEFT}{Bottom LEFT} = \frac{Outside RIGHT}{Bottom RIGHT}$

$\frac{12}{8} = \frac{x}{6}$

Now we can cross multiply to solve.

12*6 = 8*x

72 = 8x

9 = x
