Answer: see bottom for possible answer choices

Explanation:

Add both equations of the top line segment equal to the bottom, because both are the same length.

5x+6=2x+11

At this stage you would combine like terms, but we don't have any.

Subtract 2x from both sides.

3x+6=11

Subtract 6 from both sides.

3x=5

Divide both sides by 3.

x=1.6 repeating

other ways to write this answer:

1.6666666667

1.7 (if you round up to the tenths)

5/3 (in fraction form)
