Answer:

x=6

Explanation:

Since the angles are the same , we can use the angle bisector theorem

3 x

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

x-4 4

Using cross products

3*4 = x(x-4)

Distriubte

12 = x^2 -4x

Subtract 12 from each side

12-12 = x^2 -4x-12

0 = x^2 -4x-12

Factor

0 = (x-6) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

x-6 = 0 x+2 =0

x=6 x=-2

But x cannot be negative since it is a length

x=6
