X=2.3
You add 6.5 to both sides and get the answer X equals 2.3 :)
Given;
ABCDE is similar to VWXYZ
so, the corresponding segments are proportional
We need to find the length of XY
XY is corresponding to CD
CD = 1.2 cm
Finding another two corresponding sides
DE = 3.2 cm , YZ = 4 cm
so,

So, the length of XY = 1.5 cm

Just plus in x for -3
f(x) = 4(-3)^2 + 3(-3) - 11
f (x) = 4(9) -9 - 11
f(x) = 36 - 20
f(x) = 16
