Explanation:

3x-12 + 6 = 14

3x-12 = 14 - 6

3x = 8 + 12

x= 20 ÷ 3

x = 6.7

Internal Angle Bisector Theoram:

Interior Angle Bisector Theorem : The angle bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side internally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle.


\Large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{limegreen}{Solution:}}}}

Here, We can see that angle bisector of an angle is dividing the opposite side.

And,

From here, we can say that the ratio of side being divided is same as the ratio of sides containing this angle.

So, we can write it as,

➝ 14 : 21 = 6 : 3x - 12

Prdouct of means = Product of extremes

➝ 21 × 6 = 14(3x -12)

➝ 126 = 14(3x - 12)

➝ 9 = 3x - 12

Flipping it,

➝ 3x - 12 = 9

➝ 3x = 21

➝ x = 7

☘️ So, Value of x is
\boxed{\sf{x = 7}}
