Answer:

x=7.5

Explanation:

Begin this by separating the little triangle and the big one.

The little triangle is 8 on one side, then 6 on the other.

The larger triangle is 18 on one side, then 6+x on the other.

Now we can put this into a ratio format, think little triangle to bigger triangle:

8/18 for the left side, then 6/6+x on the right side.

Now cross multiply:

8(6+x)=18(6)

48+8x=108

8x=60

x=7.5
