Answer:

  x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...

  bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  2x = 3(6 -x)

  2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x

  x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.
