Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
12 times x (the first square) is equal to 16 times x-2 (the second square)
[tex]12x = 16(x-2)[/tex]
Distributed
[tex]12x = 16x-32[/tex]
Simplified (divided by 16)
[tex]0.75x = x-2[/tex]
Subtract x from both side of the equation
[tex]-0.25x = -2[/tex]
Both negatives cancel each other out
[tex]0.25x = 2[/tex]
0.25 times what equals 2,...
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
