What is the value of x? show your work.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the figure that the triangle JKL and the triangle MNP are similar, then, you can set up the following proportion:

You can identify that:

Knowing this, you can substitute values:

The final step is to solve for "x" in order to find its value.

Then, you get this result:

n inequality compares two values, showing if one is less than, greater than, or simply not equal to another value. a ≠ b says that a is not equal to b. a < b says that a is less than b. a > b says that a is greater than b. (those two are known as strict inequality)
