Answer:

B. 14

Explanation:

Those little lines on the sides of the triangles shows you which side is congruent to which, so x + 3 is congruent to the other triangle side which one small line, and 18cm and 2x - 4 is congruent.

2x - 4 = 18

add 4 to both sides

2x = 22

divide by 2

x = 11

Replace the x with 11

x + 3

11 + 3

14
