Answer:

x = 3 3/8

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve. Put the small triangle side over the big triangle side

6+x 12

---------- = -------------

25 32

Using cross products

32(6+x) = 12*25

Distribute

192 +32x = 300

Subtract 192 from each side

192-192 +32x= 300-192

32x = 108

Divide by 32

32x/x = 108/32

x = 27/8

x = 3 3/8
