HELP i have two triangles ans the order from the bottom left corner is A the point is B and the right corner C inbetween the B AND C line there is the number 18 and between A AND C there is an x the other one is a triangle same order but D E AND F between E AND F There is a 12 and between D AND F there is a 6 . .
