Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar, you know that the sides are equally proportional to all the other ones.
What I do is set up two fractions:
= 
Make sure that the bigger sides are on the same side of the fraction as each other!
Now, you solve for x.
2(x + 2) = 3x
2x + 4 = 3x
-x + 4 = 0
x = 4
I hope this helps!
It's a rational number. 9 is a perfect square. What you have asked is written as -sqrt(9), which can be written as -sqrt(3*3) which is - 3. That's perfectly OK. What would not be OK is something like -sqrt(10) which is irrational because it cannot be represented as a fraction or a whole number or a repeating decimal or a decimal that terminates.
