Answer: 12, 16, 20, and 320.

Explanation:

The value of x can be solved as follows, take note of the numbers you will need to drag to complete the equations:

4x + 12x = 320 (segment addition postulate)

16x = 320 (combining like terms)

x = 20 (dividing both sides by 16)

We would end up with the value of x, which equals 20.

Numbers that we end up using are: 12, 16, 20, and 320.
