Answer:

Explanation:

Looking at the diagram,

Line DT is parallel to line line BM, therefore, triangle DHT is similar to triangle BHM. This means that

DH/DB = TH/MH

DH = 15 + 6 = 21

TH = 9 + x

Therefore

(9 + x)/21 = 9/6

Cross multiplying, it becomes

6(9 + x) = 21 × 9 = 189

54 + 6x = 189

Subtracting 54 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

6x + 54 - 54 = 189 - 54

6x = 135

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 6, it becomes

6x/6 = 135/6

x = 22.5
