Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line in the triangle is an angle bisector and divides the opposite sides into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is
[tex]\frac{x+6}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
20x = 8(x + 6) = 8x + 48 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
12x = 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 4
