Answer:

X = 29

Explanation:

Considering they are similar then the side A-B would have a ratio of 3:1 with J-K and since A-B = 6 and J-K = 18. Using this same logic B-C (X-2) = K-L (9). So BC = 9x3 which would mean X = (9x3 + 2) or 29

14

Explanation:

14 bc you invert the triangle, 9× 2 is 18, so on the other side 6× 2 is 12, + 2 is 14
