From the definition, it must have symmetry in the present figure. It seems to be a vertical line going through the middle of the drawing. From this, we can say that:


\begin{gathered} IK=JL \\ 12x-34=4x-10 \end{gathered}

Now, we can solve it.


\begin{gathered} 12x-34=4x-10 \\ 12x-4x=34-10 \\ 8x=24 \\ x=(24)/(8) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}
