Answer:

x=10

Explanation:

We can use the angle bisector theorem to solve this problem

8 12

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

x+4 2x+1

Using cross products

8(2x+1) = 12(x+4)

Distribute

16x+8 = 12x+48

Subtract 12x from each side

16x -12x +8 = 12x-12x +48

4x +8 = 48

Subtract 8 from each side

4x+8-8 = 48-8

4x = 40

4x/4 = 40/4

x=10
