Theorem: If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two, then the line divides them proportionally. That translates for this problem to: 9/(4x-2) = 12/(3x+2) 9(3x+2) = 12(4x-2) Solve for x. Let me know what you get. @Razzanide

OpenStudy (razzanide):

9(3x+2) = 12(4x-2) 27x+18 = 48x-24 27x+42 = 48x 42 = 21x 2 = x Thank you!

2 is correct. Glad to help.
