Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, you know that the sides are equally proportional to all the other ones.

What I do is set up two fractions:


(2)/(3) =
(x)/(x + 2)

Make sure that the bigger sides are on the same side of the fraction as each other!

Now, you solve for x.

2(x + 2) = 3x

2x + 4 = 3x

-x + 4 = 0

x = 4

I hope this helps!
