Answer:

The answer is 8.

Explanation:

If you multiply each of the measurments by 1.5 they equal the measurments on the larger trapazoid. I can't see the full question but im assuming It's asking for the measurment (2x-16). So 12 divided by 1.5 equals 8. And to get eight you replace x with 4. Hope I helped. :)

\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x-16)/(12)=(12)/(18)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (x-8)/(6)=(2)/(3)


\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(x-8)=12


\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x-24=12


\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=36


\\ \sf\longmapsto x=12
