1. Solve for x in the following problem. You MUST show the equation you set up to solve and the associated work to get to the final answer.

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
if the lines are parallel, the triangles are similar and thus proportional
set up a proportion:
22/8 = (6x+3)/12
8(6x+3) = (22)(12)
48x + 24 = 264
48x = 240
x = 5
