To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property
6x - 2(x + 4) = 12
6x - 2x - 8 = 12
(always remember to sort your negatives!)
Add like terms
4x - 8 = 12
Add 8 to both sides
4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4
x = 5

Answer:
1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Because they are equal triangles, all of their sides are equal
so, lets take one side of each triangle (4, 5)
the law:
the scale factor = the larger side ÷ the smaller side
x = 5 ÷ 4
x = 1.25
For checking:
the larger side = the smaller side × the scale factor
Y = 4 × 1.25
Y = 5
