Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

Use Angle bisector theorem (look at the picture)


(24)/(9x-9)=(32)/(6x+6)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\24(6x+6)=32(9x-9)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(24)(6x)+(24)(6)=(32)(9x)+(32)(-9)\\\\114x+144=288x-288\qquad\text{subtract 144 from both sides}\\\\144x=288x-432\qquad\text{subtract}\ 288x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-144x=-432\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-144)}\\\\x=3

Let's go:



(32)/(6x + 6) = (24)/(9x - 9) \\\\ 32.(9x - 9) = 24.(6x + 6) \\\ 288x - 288 = 144x + 144 \\\ 288x - 144x = 144 + 288 \\\ 144x = 432 \\\ x = 3


I hope I helped you.
