According to the side-splitter theorem, the two sides of the triangle is divided proportionally if the line that intersects both sides is parallel to the third side of the ∆.

Therefore, based on this theorem, we would have the following:

$\frac{x}{21} = \frac{8}{24}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x}{21} = \frac{1}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 21

$\frac{x}{21}*21 = \frac{1}{3}*21$

$x = \frac{21}{3}$

$x = 7$
