Answer 1

The triangles are similar, and the sides measuring 6 and 2 are corresponding. The sides measuring x + 2 and x are also corresponding. That allows us to set up a proportion. 6 is to 2 as x + 2 is to x.

$\dfrac{6}{2} = \dfrac{x + 2}{x}$

$3 = \dfrac{x + 2}{x}$

$3x = x + 2$

$2x = 2$

$x = 1$
