Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DF is an angle bisector then it divides the opposite sides into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is

$\frac{DE}{DG}$ = $\frac{EF}{GF}$ , substitute values

$\frac{25}{22.5}$ = $\frac{x-9}{9}$ ( cross- multiply )

22.5(x - 9) = 225 ( divide both sides by 22.5 )

x - 9 = 10 ( add 9 to both sides )

x = 19
