We sketch the two similar shapes and they are as shown in the attachment. We want to write corresponding side's length in ratio

$LN : LK = x-3 : (x-3+x+2) = (x-3) : (2x-1)$
$LO : LJ = (x-4) : (x-4+x) = (x-4) : (2x-4)$

Writing the two ratio as fraction gives
$\frac{x-3}{2x-1} = \frac{x-4}{2x-4}$

Cross multipliying gives $(x-3)(2x-4)=(x-4)(2x-1)
$
