If the triangles are similar, the proportion of the legs on the left to the legs on the right will be equal. This proportion would look like:
(You needed to combine the orange segment and the yellow segment to find the total length of the large triangle).
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
28x+14=30x
<em>*Subtract 28x from both sides to isolate the variable*</em>
14=2x
<em>*Divide both sides by 2*</em>
7=x
