Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is


(EF)/(JK) =
(EG)/(JL) , substitute values


(24)/(16) =
(3x-9)/(14) ( cross- multiply )

16(3x - 9) = 336 ( divide both sides by 16 )

3x - 9 = 21 ( add 9 to both sides )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10 → B
