![**Solve for \( x \).**
**11)**
The diagram presents a set of parallel lines intersected by a transversal. It appears to depict a triangle or trapezoid shape divided by parallel lines.
- The parallel segments on one side are labeled with lengths 7 and 6.
- The third segment is labeled \((2x - 8)\).
- The total length across all segments is labeled as 26.
**Options:**
A) 4
B) 10
C) 12
D) 11
**To solve:**
The equation typically involved in these scenarios is based on proportionality or segment addition. If segments are additive, you might use:
\[ 7 + 6 + (2x - 8) = 26 \]
Solving this equation will yield the value of \( x \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F12307e0e-797d-4c72-b243-d5dbb3a71f0d%2F412e3e24-9b02-48a2-be86-473140b97053%2F4xe8aj4_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
