I believe the way to do this is to take on of the answer choices, do the math necessary for either one of them, and see of their proportional. The bigger figure is 5 times the size as the small one.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

*they're

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

You there, sport?

I am here Kyan

I agree, they prob. want 3x+2=5(x-3). But don't think there is enough info to uniquely determine x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ik that is what makes it hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can prove it by finding two triangles that satisfy either of the diagrams. i.e two x's that work with a triangle with one side 20cm and bottom lengths even.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+2=5(x-3) => x=8.5 works. Do any of the others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think so

Dang. I just came back from making a sandwich.
