Answer: 28.8 (choice D)

===============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We have similar triangles, so we can use a proportion to solve for x.

25/12 = (25+35)/x

25/12 = 60/x

25x = 12*60

25x = 720

x = 720/25

x = 28.8

--------------

Another way to set up the proportion could be:

25/(25+35) = 12/x

25/60 = 12/x

25x = 60*12

25x = 720

x = 720/25

x = 28.8
