∠AGB ≅ ∠RGS because they are vertical angles. Then, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate. Therefore, the next proportion must be satisfied,


\begin{gathered} (BG)/(GR)=(AG)/(GS) \\ (36)/(12)=(x)/(14)_{} \end{gathered}

Solving for x,


\begin{gathered} 3=(x)/(14) \\ 3\cdot14=x \\ 42=x \end{gathered}

Final answer: AA~; x = 42
