Answer:
Explanation:
Triangle TML is similar to triangle TVU. Side TV measures 36 and side TM meaures 9; side TV is 4 times longer than side TM. Same with sides VU and ML. VU is 4 times longer than ML. That means that side TU is 4 times longer than side TL. Side TL measures x - 4; side TU measures 24 + x - 4 which is x + 20. That means that x + 20 = 4(x - 4) and x + 20 = 4x - 16 and
3x = 36 so
x = 12
