Question

Please help!! How do I solve for x?

Answer 1

The line in the middle is half the length of the line on the outside. Multiply the middle line by 2 and set it equal to the outside line.

2(x-3) = x + 6

Simplify:

2x -6 p x + 6

Add 6 to both sides

2x = x + 12

Subtract x from both sides:

X = 12

The answer is B) 12
