\\ \tt\hookrightarrow (9)/(x)=(9+6)/(20)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow (9)/(x)=(15)/(20)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow (9)/(x)=(3)/(4)

Solution:

Since the triangles are similar:

  • 9 + 6:20 = 9:x

Solving the equation:

  • 9 + 6:20 = 9:x
  • => 15:20 = 9:x
  • => 3/4 = 9/x
  • => 9/12 = 9/x
  • => x = 12

The value of x is 12.
