The answer is the first option, <-20, -42>.
We can find this by first finding what -2u would equal by multiplying <5, 6> by -2. This gives us <-10, -12>.
Then we need to find out what 5v is equal to, by multiplying <-2, -6> by 5 to get <-10, -30>.
Now that we know what -2u and 5v are, we can substitute them into the equation and get
<-10, -12> + <-10, -30>, which we can split up into -10 - 10 = -20, and -12 - 30 = -42, so your final answer is <-20, -42>.
I hope this helps!
<span>By similarity of triangles we have the following relationship:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = (18) / (9)</span>
<span> Simplifying we have:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = 2</span>
<span> Clearing the value of x we have:</span>
<span><span> x = 6 * 2</span></span>
<span><span> X = 12</span></span>
<span><span> Answer:</span></span>
<span><span> The value of x for this case is equal to:</span></span>
<span><span> <span>X = 12</span></span>
