Answer: D) 10

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.

So,

DE = 2*(MN)

3x-2 = 2*(x+4)

3x-2 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+2

x = 10

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply by 12 because to get rid of the fractions all terms should be divided by the LCM (ie the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 2, 4 and 3)

Multiples of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12

Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16

Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Therefore the fractions should be multiplied by 12
