Triangle K L J is cut by line segment N O. Line segment N O goes from side L K to side L J. The length of L N is (x minus 3) inches, the length of N K is (x + 2) inches, the length of L O is (x minus 4) inches, and the length of O J is x inches. Which value of x would make Line segment N O is parallel to line segment K J? 1 6 8 10

x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the converse of basic proportionality theorem,

If in ΔABC , DE is a line drawn from AB to AC such that

then, DE is parallel to the third side BC.

Applying converse of basic proportionality theorem, to get NO parallel to KJ, we must have

Hence, the value of x should be 8, so that Line segment N O is parallel to line segment K J.
