This falls under geometry. The two labeled angles are congruent, which means the line segment between them (AD in the image) is a bisector of the angle at vertex A. Use the angle bisector theorem, which says that


(BD)/(DC)=(AB)/(AC)\iff(12)/((5+9x)-12)=(15)/(25)


(12)/(9x-7)=\frac35


20=9x-7


x=3
