Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation: So you have 3 sides and 3 numbers. Identify the side that has a number without a variable. (This goes for both triangles) Then you divide the 1st number by the 2nd. In this case it would be 20 or side "B" divided by 5 or side "E", which equals 4. You then take 4 and multiply it by 4 or side "D" (Because it's the only other side that does not have a variable) and you take your answer (16) and 2x or side "A", and make an equation. The equation would be : 2 * x = 16. Now solve the equation. Your answer is : x = 8.
