Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Given:

∆ABC ∼ ∆DEF

The ratios of the sides of similar triangles are equal are equal:


(ab)/(de) = (bc)/(ef) = (ac)/(df)


(6)/(24) = (2x)/(32) = (9)/(6x + 12)


(6)/(24) = (2x)/(32)

Use the property of the proportion (cross-multiply):


2x * 24 = 32 * 6


48x = 192

Divide both sides of the equation by 48:


x = 4
