X=8.

Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF.  The ratio would be:

24/(x-2) = 20/5

Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)

Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40

Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
