The tirangle AUV is inside triangle ABC.
Side AV is on side AC.
Side AU is on side AB.
Side UV is parallel to BC.
Simiilaritiy properties =>
AU/ AV = AB / AC
=> (20x + 108) / 372 = (20x + 108 + 273) / 589
=> (20x + 108) * 589 = (20x + 381)*372
=> 11780x + 63612 = 7440x + 141732
=> 11780x - 7440x = 141732 - 63612
=> 4340x = 78120
x = 78120 / 4340 = 18
