Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

The diagram is intended to show you that the whole is the sum of the part:

11 = (10x -1) +(2x)

11 = 12x -1 . . . . . . . collect terms

12 = 12x . . . . . . . . add 1 to both sides

1 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 12

The value of x is 1. The lengths of the segments are 9 and 2.
