The side with all the 9s and x is 12 just like its opposite side because this is a parallelogram. We can write the equation to add up the three segments; the ones on the left and right are 9-x:

9-x + x + 9-x = 12

18 - x = 12

x = 6

Solve for g: 4g/14 - 3/7 - g/14 = 3/14

Answer:
g = 3

Explanation:
To solve for g, we will need to isolate the g on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
 $\frac{4g}{14} - \frac{3}{7} - \frac{g}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$ 

1- multiply all terms by 14 to get rid of the fraction:
4g - 6 - g = 3

2- Combine like terms:
4g - g = 3 + 6
3g = 9

3- Isolate the g:
 $\frac{3g}{3} = \frac{9}{3}$

g = 3

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Δ YES ∼ Δ NOT, then it means that ΔYES and ΔNOT are similar triangles.

The similar triangles means that all the corresponding angles of the two triangles are same i.e. ∠ Y = ∠ N, ∠ E = ∠ O and ∠ S = ∠ T

Therefore, according to the property of similar triangles we can write that

$\frac{NO}{YE} = \frac{OT}{ES} = \frac{NT}{YS}$ .
