The value of \text{x} is \boxed{x = 5}.

Further Explanation:

There are many similarity rules and are as follows.

1. Angle Angle (AA)

2. Side SideSide (SSS)

3. Side Angle Side (SAS)

If two triangles are similar to each other than the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.

Explanation:

The similar triangles are those in which all the corresponding angles are equal and the sides are proportional.

The \Delta {\text{ACB}} and \Delta {\text{ACE}} are similar to each other. Therefore, the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.

\begin{aligned}\frac{{{\text{AC}}}}{{{\text{DC}}}} &= \frac{{{\text{EC}}}}{{{\text{BC}}}} \\\frac{{{\text{AD}} + {\text{DC}}}}{{{\text{DC}}}} &= \frac{{{\text{EC}}}}{{{\text{BC}}}} \\\frac{{12 + 3}}{{12}} &= \frac{{4x}}{{3x + 1}}\\\frac{{15}}{{12}} &= \frac{{4x}}{{3x + 1}}\\\end{aligned}

Further solve the above equation.

\begin{aligned}\frac{5}{4}&=\frac{{4x}}{{3x + 1}}\\5\left( {3x + 1} \right) &= 4\left( {4x} \right)\\15x + 5 &= 16x\\5&= 16x - 15x\\5&= x\\\end{aligned}

The value of \text{x} is \boxed{x = 5}.

What is a related equation to this equation?
Brilliant_brown [7]
Simple.....

you have \frac{18}{a} =7


to find what a is....simplify/multiply both sides....

a* \frac{18}{a} =7*a

simplifying it too....

18=7a

\frac{18}{7} = \frac{7a}{7}

\frac{18}{7} =a

Thus, your answer, C.
