Answer:

Because you know two sides of each triangle and they are the same triangle just the small triangle is a ratio smaller put the sides into a fraction and set them equal

Explanation:

15 / 4x = 12 / 3x+1 then cross multiply

15(3x+1) = 12 ( 4x)

45x+15 = 48x

15 = 3x

5 = x

this is a tricky problem
