Answer: 1

Explanation:

Took the test

Answer 2

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.

`(6)/(2) = (x + 2)/(x)`

`3 = (x + 2)/(x)`

`3x = x + 2`

`2x = 2`

`x = 1`
