Answer:


\boxed {x = 7}

Explanation:


FJ and
JH is half of the whole measurement of
FH. So, to find the value of
x, you need to write an expression by using those measurements of both
FJ and
JH. Then, solve for
x:


FJ = 24


JH = 3x - 3


3x - 3 = 24

-Solve:


3x - 3 = 24


3x - 3 + 3 = 24 + 3


3x = 27


(3x)/(3) = (27)/(3)


\boxed {x = 7}

So, the value of
x is
7.
