Answer: 2.5

Explanation:

Given: The triangles in the picture are similar by the AA Similarity Postulate.

We know that is two triangles are similar triangles then its corresponding sides are proportional [Larger side is proportional to larger side of another triangle or vise versa].


\Rightarrow(x)/(5)=(3)/(3+3)\\\\\Rightarrow(x)/(5)=(3)/(6)\\\\\Rightarrow x=(1)/(2)*5\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5

Hence, the value of x is 2.5 .
