Answer:

8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the figure is the sum of all the sides, so if the perimeter is 43 m, we can write the following equation:

15 m + 10 m + 10 m + x = 43 m

Then, add the similar terms:

(15 m + 10 m + 10 m) + x = 43 m

35 m + x = 43 m

Subtract 35m from both sides:

35 m + x - 35m = 43 m - 35 m

x = 8m

Therefore, the value of x is 8 m
