Answer:

120/17

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this problem - difficult and simple.

The difficult way is to realize that all triangles are similar and have the same angles. Then try to figure x from the ratios.

The simple way is to find the area of triangle ABC.

in this case .5*x*17=.5*8*15

simplifying by .5 and dividing by 17 we get: x=120/17
