Answer: x=8

Explanation:

So to begin with we need to find the connection being that they are the same triangle but with a dilation. We need to find the dilation by matching the new angles with each other H=E F=C and D=G. We need to find the relation ship between CD and FG. 65 divided by 24= 2.6 take ED and multiply 2.6 to find HG. HG= 91. Now we need to find x. 8 times x+ 3=91. Find the closest eight multiple to 91 which is 8 times 8= 88 and add 3 to see it makes 91.

8 is your answer.
