Answer 1

To solve for \( x \), we need to set the two expressions equal to each other since it appears that FD (Fixed Distance) is equal to UD (User Distance).

Given:

• \( FD = 18 \)
• \( UD = 2x - 11 \)

Set them equal to each other: \[ 2x - 11 = 18 \]

Now solve for \( x \):

1. Add 11 to both sides: \[ 2x = 18 + 11 \] \[ 2x = 29 \]

2. Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = \frac{29}{2} \] \[ x = 14.5 \]

So the solution for \( x \) is \( 14.5 \).

Thus, the correct response is: 14.5
