What is the correct order of steps to solve this similarity problem?

If △DEF ~ △HJG; find x


  1. JG is the side that has to be in the proportion created because it contains x, so create a proportion using corresponding sides from each triangle:
  2. Simplify the equation to
  3. Replace the all the sides with numbers:
  4. Rewrite the similarity statement so that you can line up the corresponding letters from each polygon:
  5. Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
  6. Cross multiply to make the equation:
  7. x=20
