Answer:

D. 4

Explanation:

∆VWZ ~ ∆VXY, therefore:


(VW)/(VX) = (VZ)/(VY)

VW = 8

VX = 8 + WX

VZ = 18

VY = 27

Plug in the values


(8)/(8 + WX) = (18)/(27)

Cross multiply


8 * 27 = (8 + WX)*18


216 = 144 + 18WX

Subtract 144 from each side


72 = 18WX

Divide both sides by 18


4 = WX

WX = 4
