OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the two triangles are similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sides are equal on either side of the smaller triangle so you can see that the line with length 2x-6 is right in the middle of the larger triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means that 2x-6 is the number right between 16 and 0 because 2x-6 is right in the middle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the number between 0 and 16 is 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x-6 =8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or x=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is B
