To find the value of x, we need to equate the two expressions SM and RN and solve for x.

Given:
SM = 3x - 4
RN = 9x - 20

Set SM equal to RN:
3x - 4 = 9x - 20

Next, we can solve for x:

Subtract 3x from both sides:
-4 = 6x - 20

Add 20 to both sides:
16 = 6x

Divide by 6:
16/6 = x

Simplify:
8/3 = x

So, the value of x is 8/3.

None of the given options is equivalent to 8/3, so the answer is not among A, B, C, or D.

To find the value of x, we need to set the expressions SM and RN equal to each other and solve for x.

SM = 3x - 4
RN = 9x - 20

Setting these two expressions equal to each other:

3x - 4 = 9x - 20

Next, we can simplify the equation by combining like terms:

3x - 9x = -20 + 4

-6x = -16

To solve for x, we will divide both sides of the equation by -6:

-6x / -6 = -16 / -6

This simplifies to:

x = 16/6

The value of x is 8/3.

However, none of the answer choices provided match this value. Therefore, there seems to be an error in the question or answer choices.
