Answer:

x= 14

Explanation:

When the triangles are similar, they should have a similar ratio that makes one side equal to another. In this case, the ratio is 1.5 as 24 divided by 16 is 1.5. Now, taking the side that is "similar" to the x-value which is 21, we divided 21 by 1.5 resulting in x= 14.
