The red arrows mean the lines are parallel. Since all angles are equal, the larger triangle is similar to the smaller one. Then corresponding sides have the same ratio
(4x -2)/9 = (3x+2)/12
x(4/9 -3/12) = (2/12) +(2/9)
x = (7/18)/(7/36) = 2 . . . . . . . . . corresponding to the 3rd selection

kotegsom [21]

Answer: 7 crayons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we first must find the total number of crayons available by adding up how many crayons are in each container.

         56+12+96 = 160 crayons total

Next we take this number and divide it by 22 (the number of students in the class) to determine how many crayon each student gets

         160 crayons/22 students = 7.272727 crayons per student

However, it's important to note that this number is not a whole number. We must then round down to the nearest whole number because students aren't given fractions of crayons.

         7.272727 ==> 7 crayons per student
