Use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem to solve for x.

Answer 1

Theorem: If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two, it divides them proportionately.

4 is to 2 as 6 is to x.

4/2 = 6/x
Cross Multiply (Means-Extremes Theorem)
and solve for x.

Answer 2

Answer 3

4/2 = 6/x
means 4x = 2*6
4x = 12
So, x = ? --> 3/x is not correct
You want a numerical answer.
