The small arcs inside the triangle show that they are similar, so first find the ratio between the similar sides that both have given lengths.
JK is 25, and MN is 30.
30/25 = 1.2
This means the larger triangle is 1.2 times the size of the smaller one.
So MP needs to equal 1.2 x the length of JL:
JL = 20
20 * 1.2 = 24
Now you have 4x-4 = 24
Now silve for x:
Add 4 to each side:
4x = 28
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 28 / 4
x = 7
It would be written like so:
25/4 + 2
Though I'm not sure how you share 25 stamps among 4 friends equally without having to rip 1 of the 25 stamps into quarters.
You do the butterfly method multiply across and add or subtract. multiply the denominators to get the denominators

Steps to solve:
k + 10 = 27
~Subtract 10 to both sides
k = 17
Best of Luck!
