In Exercises 2 and 3, find the value of x that makes PQR ~JKL.

Answer:
2. 4
3. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2. 4 ~ 8
3 ~ x + 2
x + 1 ~ 10
8 / 4 = 2
2 (3) = x + 2
6 = x + 2
- 2 - 2
x = 4
2 (x + 1) = 10
/ 2 / 2
x + 1 = 5
- 1 - 1
x = 4
3. 9 ~ 13.5
x + 1 ~ 15
13.5 / 9 = 1.5
1.5 (x + 1) = 15
/ 1.5 / 1.5
x + 1 = 10
- 1 - 1
x = 9
