Answer: option a
Step-by-step explanation:
You must apply the formula for calculate the distance between the two points. which is shown below:
Therefore, keeping on mind that the points given in the problem are (6, 11), (0, 3), when you substitute values into the formula shown above, you obtain that the distance between these two points is the following:
9x-7= 29
9x-7+7= 29+7
9x= 36
Divide by 9 for 9x and 36
9x/9= 36/9
x= 4
Check answer by using substitution method
9x-7= 29
9(4)-7=29
36-7= 29
29= 29
Answer is x=4 (second choice)
