What is this can someone please help?

Answer:
x= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up a proportion
12/8 = 9/x
Then you do Cross Product Property
8*9=72
12*x=12x
12x=72
divide 72 by 12
72/12=6
x=6
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
[tex]\frac{XZ}{DF}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{XY}{DE}[/tex], that is
[tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
12x = 72 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 6
x = DE = 6 → A
