Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using angular bisector theorem.

It states that if any angle of triangle is bisected by a line , then that line

divides the opposite side of that angle in same proportion as that of two other sides which contain the angle.

__________________________________

Here one angle is is divided into parts theta

Thus,

using angular bisector theorem

14/21 = 6/3x-12

=> 14(3x-12) = 21*6

=> 3x-12 = 21*6/14 = 9

=> 3x = 12+9 = 21

=> x = 21/3 = 7

Thus, x = 7
