Since the triangles are similar, the following is true:

  20        x+6
------- = -------
2x -6       36

Then (20)(36) = (x+6)(2)(x-3) = 2[x^2+3x-18], or

720 = 2[x^2+3x-18], or 360 = x^2 + 3x - 18.

Then x^2 + 3x - 18 - 360 = 0.  This is a quadratic equation which can be solved using the quadratic formula, among other approaches.  Please apply the quadratic formula here, using a=1, b=3 and c= -378, to find x.

Although the student in the example used in this question did not make too many errors, there is a better way of working out this equation so that you will find the correct answer. In an equation like this where you need to get I on it's own, you need to divide everything by two to get -w+P over 2 = l. To get to this point, to start with you would need to do -2w+P=2l instead of P-2w=2l.
