$$? = 4x\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Leftrightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\boxed{\,? = x\,}$$

Each statement alone is not sufficient, as proved by the geometric bifurcations presented in the figure above.

$$\left( {1 + 2} \right)\,\,\,\Delta EAB\,\, \cong \,\,\Delta EGF\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{6 - x}}{6} = \frac{{AB}}{{GF}} = \frac{x}{{10}}$$
$$10\left( {6 - x} \right) = 6x\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,x\,\,\,{\text{unique}}$$

The correct answer is therefore (C).


We follow the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

Regards,
Fabio.
